Problem Statement
Vim mode supports some vim commands but is missing some common ones. One that I frequently miss is p as I often use it when fixing typos, such as xp to swap two adjacent letters, dwwP to swap two adjacent words, etc.
Proposed Solution
I would like the vim mode's d, y (which might also not exist), x et al to copy the deleted or yanked text into a vim register that can be pasted with p and P.
Alternative Solutions
Workarounds I'm currently using
- instead of
xp, I have to usexa<type the character I just deleted><esc>(to go into insert mode to type the character then back to normal mode)
Priority
Low - Nice to have
Feature Category
Interactive mode (TUI)
Use Case Example
start typing a prompt.
Hello Claude, I want to write soemthing that converts this data type...
notice my mistake, I misspelled "something"
esc. to go into normal mode, bbbbbbbfexp to go back 7 words, jump to the 'e' in "soemthing", delete it, then paste it back in _after_ the 'm'
