Description

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one):

Bug report

What happened:

When I define a mapping for shift-space with <S-space>, it does not work.

What did you expect to happen:

Shift-space should work. It works in MacVim (OS X) and gvim (Linux).

These mappings are my most-used vim keymappings that I've defined.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
        "before": ["<S-space>"],
        "after": ["<C-b>"]
    },
    {
        "before": ["<space>"],
        "after": ["<C-f>"]
    }
]

Environment:

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 0.14.1
  • VSCode version: 1.24.1
  • OS version: macOS 10.13

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using the vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive mappings shown, comparing <S-space> with <space> in VSCodeVim. Trace the keybinding handling entry point for these mappings and verify that Shift-Space triggers the configured <C-b> action without breaking the Space mapping.
