Description
- Click thumbs-up 👍 on this issue if you want it!
- Click confused 😕 on this issue if not having it makes VSCodeVim unusable.
The VSCodeVim team prioritizes issues based on reaction count.
The % key works as expected for single-character block identifiers such as (/), but NOT for multi-char ones such as def/end - such behavior is a staple for being productive in languages like Ruby.
I believe the matchit script/macro provides such functionality for actual Vim - more specifically https://github.com/vim-scripts/ruby-matchit.
There's actually the same reported issue over at vscode-ruby but I'm also creating it here as this might be the more appropriate place to solve the problem...

Research direction
The issue names no repository files or tests. Start by reviewing the existing % handling and comparing it with the linked matchit script/macro and ruby-matchit reference; done means % jumps between multi-character Ruby constructs such as def and end.
