Devin CLI adds /vim mode and pinned models
This week, the Devin CLI shipped one release with several key changes. The main change is the addition of Vim editing in the prompt box, which helps users who prefer Vim's editing capabilities. This release also includes other notable changes and fixes, including pinned models and improved tool approval prompts.
v3000.12.17 · November 6, 2026
This release adds several new features, including the ability to turn on Vim editing in the prompt box with the /vim command and pin models with Alt+P in /model. The /resume command now shows each session’s project and age, and search by project name is available. Notable fixes include ensuring plan approvals show the plan summary and file path before you decide, and preventing the CLI from losing config changes saved in quick succession.
