Escape to IntelliJ IDEA shortcuts from IdeaVim

I'm used to both vim and IntelliJ default hotkeys. I'd like to not to have to change any of them - I'd rather like to be able to use conflicting IntelliJ bindings, like CTRL-P for example, after some kind of escape key.

Conflict balloon and my research wasn't too helpful. Only thing that I've found is that I can turn vim plugin off with a hotkey, and then back on after I'm done, but I have to remember to turn it one every time.

Is there any solution for my problem?

I made .ideavimrc that contains bindings for all conflicted mappings. Maybe it'll be usefull to someone.
