UPDATE: Another symptom: using numbers for navigation in vim mode ignores numbers (example: 20j moves only one line downwards) and so is the case with other actions that involve numbers like pressing 0 to move to the beginning of the line.

@mal1k-me https://github.com/galoisgroupcn/zed/pull/5. Try this, and give us feedback. Even if it's not working, give us the output and we can reiterate the code till it works. Thanks!

It works as expected after restarting Zed. It seems to happen only after long coding sessions.
Maybe hibernation plays a role in reproducing the problem.

UPDATE: I suspect that ctrl+j binding to toggle the terminal might also interfere and cause issues. The binding only works in insert mode (in the case of vim mode, same for ctrl+b binding to toggle the left panel) and it's registered later as a vim command since it's repeated when pressing dot . in normal mode and it may insert other characters as well.

Probably related to #22437. If so, this will fix it:

  "buffer_font_family": "JetBrains Mono",
  "buffer_font_size": 17,
  "buffer_font_weight": 600,
  // Set nerd font specifically for terminal only
  "terminal": {
      "font_family": "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font",
  },
