[Feature Request] Enable vim mode in all text input fields
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Dec 21, 2025 by sid374 Closed Dec 25, 2025
Summary
Vim mode should be enabled consistently across all text input fields in Claude Code, not just the main prompt area.
Current Behavior
Vim mode works in the main prompt input, but several other input fields don't respect the vim mode setting:
- Feedback text field (see #14928)
- "Create new agent" text input (see #4811)
- Plan mode Q&A inputs
- AskUserQuestion tool inputs (see #10151)
- Any other text input dialogs
Expected Behavior
When vim mode is enabled, all text input fields should use vim keybindings consistently.
Related Issues
- #14928 - Enable vim mode in feedback text field
- #4811 - Create new agent text input doesn't use VIM mode
- #10151 - AskUserQuestion tool vim mode doesn't respect insert/normal modes
Rationale
Users who enable vim mode expect consistent behavior throughout the application. Having some inputs use vim mode while others don't creates a jarring and inconsistent experience.
