Description
Description of the bug
Actually I am not sure that it's a bug, hope the information will be useful.
I want to use VS Code as Vim editor with colemak layout but normal mode key bindings don't work.
Doesn't work ONLY key binding for moving - "noremap n j"
My OS: Ubuntu 19.04 64-bit
VS Code version 1.41.1
Vim emulation is enabled globally. Version 1.12.4
My settings: .vimrc and settings.json

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with the supplied .vimrc and settings.json on the stated Ubuntu, VS Code, and Vim emulation versions. Inspect the normal-mode key-mapping behavior for noremap n j; done means the n mapping moves as expected without breaking other normal-mode bindings.
