BUG REPORT:

Environment:
Mac

  • VSCode Version: 1.17.2
  • VsCodeVim Version: 0.10.2
  • OS: 10.10.5 (OS X Yosemite)

What happened:
Pressed Ctrl+n in INSERT MODE try to move the cursor from current line to next line. But, nothing happen. However, the Ctrl+p is working properly moving cursor to previous line.

What did you expect to happen:
In the INSERT MODE, Ctrl+n should move the current cursor to next line.

How to reproduce it:
I have no idea. Not sure what happen to the command extension.vim_ctrl+n in the keyboard shortcut.

Anyone know how to fix it? Or, Ctrl+n working properly on your Mac.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Mac with VSCode 1.17.2 and VSCodeVim 0.10.2, then inspect the keyboard shortcut for extension.vim_ctrl+n. Done means Ctrl+n moves the cursor to the next line in insert mode, while the existing Ctrl+p behavior remains working.
