When you paste text, Claude Code can show it as a placeholder, a short chip standing in for the pasted text. If the cursor sits on the line break right after such a placeholder, a whole-line command now starts from the beginning of that line instead of from where the cursor is.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is a small fix for vim mode. Whole-line commands now cover the full line that ends in a placeholder rather than starting partway through it.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
