Vim mode

Vim mode supports normal, insert, visual, and command modes. Motions and operators are resolved by the Vim provider before application hotkeys. Escape returns to normal mode; command mode emits typed editor commands.

Visual and visual-line selections accept d, c, and y directly, including named-register targets. Insert repeat records Unicode grapheme clusters, so backspace followed by . cannot replay a split emoji or combining sequence.

Keep global shortcuts out of active editor scope unless they are explicitly declared as application-level overrides. Expose the current mode in status text so the interface remains understandable without relying on color.
