Claude Code adds Vim visual modes

Claude Code 2.1.118 adds Vim visual and visual-line selection, stricter update blocking through DISABLE_UPDATES, MCP hook invocation, custom themes, plugin tagging, WSL managed-settings inheritance, and a batch of OAuth, plugin, remote-session, and terminal fixes.

// ANALYSIS

This is a power-user CLI release: less flashy than a model drop, but meaningful for teams treating Claude Code as daily engineering infrastructure.

  • Vim visual mode makes prompt editing feel more like a real terminal-native dev tool, especially for long multi-line instructions and precise edits.
  • DISABLE_UPDATES matters for enterprise control because it blocks every update path, including manual claude update.
  • MCP and plugin fixes show Anthropic is hardening Claude Code as an extensible agent platform, not just a chat-in-terminal wrapper.
  • The long tail of OAuth, credential, Remote Control, and keyboard fixes suggests fast iteration is still creating operational churn for serious users.
