Description
It looks like trying to set ShiftSpace to escape insert mode is not working. Visual Studio Code 1.13.1 on Mac OS X.
"vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
{
"before":["<S-Space>"],
"after":["<Esc>"]
}
]
Update 1
Trying CtrlS to save file and escape insert mode, is not working either.
"vim.useCtrlKeys": true,
"vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
{
"before": ["<C-s>"],
"after":["<C-o>:update<CR><ESC>"]
}
]

Research direction
Reproduce the mappings in Visual Studio Code on macOS, using the reported insertModeKeyBindings and useCtrlKeys settings. Trace how the extension handles Shift-Space and Ctrl-S in insert mode; done means the reported mappings consistently exit insert mode and perform the requested save behavior.
