Green cursor bug – VIM Input Mode

⚠️ Green cursor bug – VIM Input Mode

Thanks to several helpful reports from our community, we discovered a small (but potentially confusing) quirk in the Code Editor Settings tab. We really appreciate everyone who flagged this—your feedback helps us make Code Snippets better for everyone. 🙌

ℹ️ What’s Happening:

If you click “Save” in the editor settings without manually updating the Input Mode, the editor defaults to VIM mode.

You’ll notice:

    •    A green cursor

    •    Default behavior starting in navigate mode

    •    You need to press i to switch to input mode (VIM-style)

This is expected behavior for VIM users, but if you’re not using VIM, it can feel like the editor is unresponsive or broken.

✅ Temporary Workaround:

To avoid confusion, head to Code Editor Settings and change the Input Mode to Sublime Text manually. It will stick from there.

🔧 Permanent Fix Incoming:

We’re working on a patch that will default the editor to Sublime Text (a more common choice for most users) unless specified otherwise.

Thanks again for the quick reports and continued support!

Stay in the loop!
