Description
When I add a second view into a file (often helps improve workflow b/c I can have functions and classes folded on one side but not the other), the second one does not work. Pressing j, k, h, and l do not move the cursor, and i does not enter insert mode.

Research direction
Reproduce the problem in VS Code by opening two views into the same file, then inspect the extension's handling of cursor movement and insert-mode keys in the second view. Done means j, k, h, and l move the cursor and i enters insert mode there as they do in the first view.
