Description
What I'm trying to do
I'm trying to make a mapping to insert a , at the end of the line from normal mode.
To Reproduce
"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
{
"before": [",", ","],
"after": ["A", ",", "<Esc>"],
},
],
Expected behavior
Pressing ,, will go to the end of the line and insert a , and go back to normal mode.

Research direction
Reproduce the configuration from the issue in the VSCodeVim extension and start by tracing normal-mode mapping handling for the before sequence [",", ","]. Done means pressing ,, moves to the line end, inserts a comma, and returns to normal mode without breaking existing mappings.
