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 use xa<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'
