What

Vim mode lets you edit your prompt with vim-style keys. Commands that work on whole lines now find the line from its position in the text instead of from where it appears on screen. This covers:

  • p and P for pasting whole lines
  • >> and << for indenting
  • o and O for opening a new line
  • dd for deleting a line

Other changes:

  • After dd or a whole-line paste, the cursor moves to the first character that is not a space.
  • J in visual mode joins lines in a new way.
  • . (repeat last change) now accepts a count, such as 3., which replaces the original count.
  • Indenting the last line with a count greater than 1 does nothing.
  • In NORMAL mode, the cursor stays within the text when an earlier or queued message is brought back into the input.
Why

When a long line wrapped onto several screen rows, these commands could act on the wrong line.

The writer flagged doubtHow the new join for `J` in visual mode differs from the old one is not confirmed.
