Can I type text without changing my current cursor point?

[ithiel]

I'm almost sure I saw this once, I just can recall the sequence. 
What I want to do is to hit C+something and then type but have my cursor
stay in its current point and not move forward. Then I can somehow exit this
mode (ESC) and type some text which will be inserted in between. This could
be useful to type a prefix, a suffix and then the content without having to
move the cursor back. 

TIA :)
