Description
Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one):
Bug report
What happened:
I'm on a line in normal mode:
def something():|
If I press o the next line will be indented, like this:
def something():
|
If I...
- Press
<esc>, the indentation will be lost after returning to normal mode (this used to not be the case, but is now!):
def something():
|
- Press e.g.
<c-f><esc>, the indentation will not be lost after returning to normal mode:
def something():
|
What did you expect to happen:
Consistent behaviour. Preferably the second one, pressing esc should take me out of insert mode, not modify text!
Environment:
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: v0.12.0
- VSCode version: April 2018 (version 1.23)
- OS version: MacOS High Sierra

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported sequence in VSCodeVim with the stated VSCode Vim extension and editor versions: press o, then <esc>, and compare it with <c-f><esc>. Trace the insert-mode handling for these key sequences and verify that exiting insert mode preserves the indentation consistently without changing the text.
