Description
After input <> in Normal mode, I enter some wired mode, which I can not move the cursor nor input other commands, but showing the keystroke in status bar.
Only reopening the tab get me to the normal mode.
After I delete the vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive settings, the issue disappeared. Settings are as follows:
"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
{
"before": [
"<C-n>"
],
"commands": [
"workbench.action.files.newUntitledFile"
]
},
{
"before": [
"u"
],
"commands": [
"undo"
]
},
{
"before": [
"<C-r>"
],
"commands": [
"redo"
]
},
],

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in VSCodeVim with the shown vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive settings, then compare behavior after removing those settings. Start from the Normal mode keybinding path and the status-bar keystroke display; done means entering <> no longer traps the editor and normal commands and cursor movement work without reopening the tab.
