Emacs Evil mode and org-mode

Question

I have recent started using emacs, Evil and org-mode together. When taking notes in org-mode sometimes the program will go into an `< E >` mode which I can see on the status bar at the bottom of the frame. When starting emacs I usually see a `< N >` on the status bar. I am assuming that `< N >` - is for normal mode `< I >` - is for insert mode What is `< E >` mode? How do I return to normal mode without having to restart emacs?

Accepted Answer

It means you somehow got into "Emacs" state, which uses the standard Emacs keymap. You can get back to "Normal state" with `M-x evil-normal-state`. (Just in case you're brand new: `M-x` means "Meta-x", which in practice means "Alt-x").
