Description
VscodeVim Ctrl key are useful in normal/visual mode, but in insert mode they add no additional value compared to vscode built-in keybindings. They also interfere with VsCode multicursor abilities.
A way to disable them in settings would be welcome.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the settings definitions and insert-mode Ctrl-key handling, then trace how normal and visual modes preserve their Ctrl behavior. Done means a setting disables Ctrl-key handling only in insert mode while leaving VS Code's built-in bindings available there.
