CommandDifferenceChoose It When

Effects and persistence

Toggles Vim editing behavior for terminal input.

/vim switches the Codex TUI composer between default editing and Vim normal/insert behavior.

Cautions

Review tui.vim_mode_default = true when making Vim the default editing mode. Inspect shortcut conflicts with /keymap.

  • /vim is now listed in the official slash commands documentation.
  • Confirm that paired or training sessions will not be confused by Vim default mode.
