Vim insights has a known digit-motion blind spot #691

Description

@malpern

Tier: 3 (minor polish — known limitation)

From the pre-release feature-gap audit.

Problem

Vim insights intentionally suppresses suggestions for 0 / $ (and similar) because it can't distinguish raw digits from shifted symbols without tracking shift state. Power users who rely on numbered motions (e.g., 4j, 10w) get degraded insights.

Evidence

  • Sources/KeyPathAppKit/Services/KindaVim/VimInsightsEngine.swift:175-179 — comment documents dropping the rule rather than risking false negatives.

Suggested fix (future)

Track shift state to safely re-enable digit/shifted-symbol insights.
