Command reference ยท Claude Code
/vim
No longer exists โ removed in version 2.1.92.
/vim no longer exists. The command was removed from Claude Code in version 2.1.92 โ along with /tag, which was dropped in the same version.
Since then, you toggle Vim mode via /config โ Editor mode. The functionality itself hasn't changed: NORMAL, INSERT, and VISUAL modes along with their keyboard shortcuts still work exactly as before โ only the dedicated slash command for it is gone. Handy detail: search in the /config menu also matches option values โ type "vim" there and you jump directly to the matching editor mode setting instead of scrolling through the list manually.
On versions before 2.1.92, /vim still exists as a normal command.
โ WHEN TO USE IT?
Nothing anymore โ the command is gone
Call /config and switch between Vim and Normal under "Editor mode".
Quickly find the Vim setting
Type "vim" in the /config menu to jump directly to the editor mode option instead of scrolling through the list manually.
โ WHEN NOT TO?
On a version from 2.1.92 onward
The command was removed in 2.1.92 and no longer does anything.
Better: use /config โ Editor mode.
