i suppose you mean the keys to switch from command mode (which you start up in, by default), to text insert mode?

from the vi man pages:

FAST STARTUP
...
The commands to enter new text are:

a Append new text, after the cursor.

i Insert new text, before the cursor.

o Open a new line below the line the cursor is on,
and start entering text.

O Open a new line above the line the cursor is on,
and start entering text.

<escape>
Once you've entered input mode using the one of the
a, i, O or o commands, use <escape> to quit enter-
ing text and return to command mode.
