Mistral Vibe: Ctrl+Y Pastes Back Text You Just Deleted

Mistral VibeNov 9, 2026View original changelog

On macOS and Linux, with nothing selected, Ctrl+Y pastes back text last deleted with Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+W or Alt+D. It adds a shell-style kill-and-yank workflow to the prompt input.

Key Takeaways

Ctrl+Y pastes the text last deleted in the prompt.
It works after Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+W or Alt+D.
It applies on macOS and Linux only.
It works only when nothing is selected.
It mirrors readline-style kill and yank.
It shipped in Mistral Vibe 3.1.1.

Undo a deletion

Mistral Vibe 3.1.1 adds a yank shortcut. On macOS and Linux, when nothing is selected, Ctrl+Y pastes back the text most recently deleted with Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+W or Alt+D.

Why it matters

It matches the readline habit of cutting text and pasting it elsewhere, and it recovers a line wiped by mistake.
