Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by reproducing the inability to type with VsCodeVim 1.12.2 on VS Code 1.41 and macOS Catalina, then inspect the issue thread and extension keyboard-handling paths. Done means normal text entry works while the extension is enabled, without breaking deletion.
