[Feature Request] Expand vim mode keybinding support for yank, paste, undo, and redo

Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Jan 7, 2026 by undont Closed Feb 27, 2026

Bug Description

Vim mode is currently missing some essential editing commands that would make it more usable for vim users:

Yank (copy) commands:

  • y - yank with motion
  • yy / Y - yank line
  • yw / ye / yb - yank word variants
  • p / P - paste after/before cursor

Undo/redo:

  • u - undo
  • Ctrl+R - redo (would need to coexist with or replace reverse history search)

These are fundamental vim operations and their absence makes it difficult to stay in vim mode for editing longer prompts.

Environment Info

  • Platform: darwin
  • Terminal: tmux
  • Version: 2.1.1
  • Feedback ID: 9fc613f0-e75b-4ead-8f78-840934108296
