What probably matters to you Section of the release
What
Vim mode is an optional way of editing text in Claude Code using the keys of the vim editor. An operator, such as d for delete, is followed by a motion that says how far it reaches. % is now accepted as that motion, handled like j and k.
Why
Commands that pair an operator with % now work in Claude Code's vim mode.
