Does Zed's Terminal Mode Support Normal Mode (Vim-like Navigation)? #23392
-
I’m exploring Zed’s terminal mode and wondering if it supports a "normal mode" similar to Vim’s modal editing. Specifically: Can I switch to a non-insert mode for navigating and manipulating text using keyboard shortcuts (e.g., hjkl for movement)? If not, are there plans to add this feature, or are there any workarounds to achieve Vim-like behavior in the terminal? |

The current vim in the terminal is a incomplete version, and I look forward to it being as powerful as it is in other places. |

Zed embeds Alacritty as the terminal which has a vi-mode for navigating the scrollback buffer. One thing I just noticed is that arrow keys appear to be laggy, but hjkl are fine. 🤷 |

Use
ctrl-shift-space
to toggle in/out of it.One thing I just noticed is that arrow keys appear to be laggy, but hjkl are fine. 🤷
