Problem Statement
Hello,
I am vim enthusiast and I use the vim mode in the claude prompt, which I really enjoy. In vim I have always used imap jk <ESC> to go into command mode faster. Could this be added to claude code?
This issue was brought up before but was cancelled, would really love to see this happen.
Thanks!
Sergio
Proposed Solution
Add mapping of keys to vim mode.
