The keystokes are pretty much what you'd press in vim to perform the same actions. Except that append mode ends when they finished the line (apparently) rather than having to press Esc.

The feedback from the editor, however, is… challenging.

In ed, append mode ends by entering a single '.' on an empty line, and then pressing enter. You can see that happening in the article.
