I hope I understand you right and this helps: I use C-z for this with viper level 3 to have C-z bound to Emacs. When I open e. g. dired then the viper state in this buffer that is shown in the mode line is <E> meaning Emacs. In this mode the Emacs keys are active like e. g. `f' to open the file in a new buffer or p/n to go up/down. Back in dired and after C-z the viper state changes to <V> meaning viper. In this mode the vi keys are active like e. g. `f' to find a certain character or k/j to go up/down. C-z at any time toggles again to <E>.
