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:
pandPfor pasting whole lines>>and<<for indentingoandOfor opening a new lineddfor deleting a line
Other changes:
- After
ddor a whole-line paste, the cursor moves to the first character that is not a space. Jin visual mode joins lines in a new way..(repeat last change) now accepts a count, such as3., 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 doubt
How the new join for `J` in visual mode differs from the old one is not confirmed.
