 查询编辑器是 DBX 的 SQL 工作区。它把方言感知的高亮与补全、语义诊断、参数输入、执行进度、多结果、执行计划、查询历史、SQL 库和 AI 助手放在同一个标签页中。
 
+## Vim 配置
+
+在桌面版的**编辑器设置**中启用 Vim 模式后，DBX 会读取 `~/.dbx/vimrc`。如文件不存在，请先创建；修改后重启 DBX 才会生效。空行及以 `"` 开头的注释行会被忽略。CodeMirror Vim 支持的命令会应用到每个 SQL 编辑器标签页，例如：
+
+```vim
+" DBX Vim 映射
+imap jj <Esc>
+nmap Y y$
+set clipboard=unnamedplus
+```
+
+配置 `set clipboard=unnamedplus` 后，Vim 的复制和删除会写入系统剪贴板，普通模式下的 `p` 和 `P` 会从系统剪贴板读取。不支持的命令不会阻止编辑器启动。
+

 The query editor is the SQL workspace in DBX. It combines dialect-aware highlighting and completion, semantic diagnostics, parameter input, execution progress, multiple results, execution plans, query history, the SQL library, and AI assistance in one tab.
 
+## Vim configuration
+
+In the desktop app, enable Vim mode in **Editor Settings** to load commands from `~/.dbx/vimrc`. Create the file if needed, then restart DBX after editing it. Blank lines and lines beginning with `"` are ignored. Commands supported by CodeMirror Vim, such as these mappings, apply to every SQL editor tab:
+
+```vim
+" DBX Vim mappings
+imap jj <Esc>
+nmap Y y$
+set clipboard=unnamedplus
+```
+
+With `set clipboard=unnamedplus`, Vim yanks and deletes write to the system clipboard, and normal-mode `p` and `P` read from it. Unsupported commands do not prevent the editor from starting.
