What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Claude Code's prompt editor has an optional vim mode, which uses the Vim editor's keyboard commands. Two of those commands now behave as in Vim.
After an operator such as d (delete), c (change) or y (copy), only the digits 1 to 9 start a count. 0 is treated as "go to line start", so d0, c0 and y0 now work. Before, 0 was taken as part of a count.
G now has its own handling in normal mode and after an operator. With a typed count, such as 5G, it jumps to that line. Without one, it jumps to the start of the last line.
Claude Code now tracks whether a count was actually typed (countTyped), which is how G tells the two cases apart.
Why
These are common Vim commands that did not work before, so people used to Vim can now use them in the prompt as expected.
