odd default <Esc> key binding
See original GitHub issueThis extension is great. I like that I can use real vim while interfacing w/ VS Code but I had a difficult time figuring out how to exit insert mode because the Escape key does nothing by default. The Ctrl + C
mentioned in the README.md did not pop out at me when I was reading about the extension and it took a while to figure out how to add the Escape key binding.
I’m curious, why bind Ctrl + C
to <Esc>
rather than binding Escape
to <Esc>
? I ended up working around this by adding this to my keybindings:
{"key": "Escape", "command": "vscode-neovim.escape" }
I figure there’s probably a good reason why you did not use the default key for <Esc>
I’m just curious as to why.

A little off-topic, but these should probably be added as well:
So I can use
ctrl
+n
&ctrl
+p
for selecting code suggestions and to select options inctrl

Pressing Esc in any mode other than “normal” should take us out of that mode.
