Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Different tabs can be in different mode (insert, normal).
When I am in a tab in normal mode I can type gt to quickly switch to next tab, and do gt again and again to keep switchting.
Unless I reach a tab in edit mode, where I'll actually insert gt (a few times if I do not notice immediatly). This is quite frustrating.
Describe the solution you'd like
Any tab reached through gt (and similar navigation) should be in normal mode to avoid the sudden mode switch to insert.
Describe alternatives you've considered
All tab should share the same mode. If I can gt I am in normal mode (everywhere)

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in VSCodeVim with multiple tabs in different modes, then trace the gt and similar tab-navigation entry points. Confirm that navigating to a tab from normal mode does not leave the destination in insert mode, while preserving the requested tab-switching behavior.
