"Toggle Vim Mode" setting (enable/disable extension)

See original GitHub issue

I’m not sure if this is possible given the architecture of this plugin (ie, defers to an external instance of neovim for actual implementation), but it would be nice to have a programmable Toggle Vim Mode hotkey, similar to what is currently available in the vscodevim extension. There are a number of cases in which I would like to completely “disable” vim and go back to regular old VSCode editing, but this is not currently possible.

+1 to this feature request!

Wonder is something like this is feasible:

<command+shift+P> to bring up “command palette”
start typing vim or toggle and brings up Toggle vscode-neovim on off (with indicator on bottom status bar)

I believe this is how vscodevim does it. That would be sufficient.

P.S. Love that I can now use my neovim setup within VS Code. Thanks for the work.

Hey, sometimes in pair programming the plugin hinders me, so this functionality would be great. After waiting for about half a year, I decide to take my luck into my own hands. In my fork, it works. I added a switch to keep the insert mode even if Esc or Buffer(file)change happens. I added a second switch that just makes insert mode persist when buffer change happens. And I added a setting (which oddly can’t be changed(which I think is a bug in the app programming) that switches to insert mode instead of VisualMode when text is selected with the mouse. I guess it’s not really PR ready yet, and there’s no testing and so on. I wanted to ask if this functionality is wanted, and how it should be implemented, then i would take care for it if wanted. https://github.com/Valleeh/vscode-neovim/tree/neovimtoggle Best Valentin Wunderlich
