Paste with CTRL+V while in edit mode does not work

See original GitHub issue

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one): BUG REPORT

What happened:

Got to any app and press CTRL+C to put some text in your clipboard.
Got to VSCode, press i to enter edit mode
press CTRL+V, nothing happens

What did you expect to happen: while in edit mode, CTRL+V pastes the content of the clipboard

If I disable VSCode Vim, CTRL+V works as usual.

You can set vim.useCtrlKeys to false, or set

"vim.handleKeys": {
    "<C-c>": false,
    "<C-v>": false,
}

Any reason why this can’t work?

"vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
    {
        "before": ["<C-v>"],
        "after": [],
        "commands": "editor.action.clipboardPasteAction",
        
    }
]

Would be nice to have <C-v> as paste in insert mode without giving up visual block because of useCtrlKeys or handleKeys.
