Temporarily enter command mode from insert mode with ctrl+o

See original GitHub issue

As I gather, this plugin „unbinds self from the type event“. Which I like in general… except: What would it take to allow ctrl+o to temporarily enter command mode from insert mode? It seems to work in principle with other mappings such as ctrl+r.

For now, I added this to my keybindings.json. Seems to work so far.

{
    "key": "ctrl+o",
    "command": "vscode-neovim.send",
    "args": "<c-o>",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && neovim.mode == insert"
}

Great stuff! 👍
