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.


I had searched through the issues, but I couldn't find a relevant one, so my question is simple, is the :abbreviate feature supported in VsCodeVim? Or is it supported through NeoVim integration?
