Description

[FEATURE REQUEST]

Hello. I am a long time vim/nvim user and have been enjoying vscode lately. One thing that I miss is an easy way to mimic the functionality of the hardtime plugin. TLDR; on that plugin is that it works a little like hardmode (disabling movement keys and keystrokes), but instead of totally disabling hjkl it adds a timer to them, so you are forced to not press jjjjj to move down a bunch of times. The objective is to train you to use All the Right Moves (and get you better at Vim Golf).

I disabled the arrow keys and some other stuff by deleting the stuff from keyboard shortcuts, but adding a timer and some of the other limitations are a little over my js knowledge atm.

Thanks for the consideration!

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned; begin by clarifying the intended hardtime options and where key handling belongs. Done would require an agreed option set and verified timer-based behavior, but the issue does not define acceptance criteria.
