Description

Describe the bug
If I create a macro, and execute a VSC shortcut (for example ctrl+shift+alt+i => toggle breakpoint) it doesn't do it during the macros execution.

To Reproduce

  1. Create Macro that does some VSC action (qkF9jq)
  2. Execute Macro (10@k)
  3. Cursor moves but nothing happens

Expected behavior
The macro should execute vsc actions

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.12.4
  • VSCode version: 1.42.1
  • OS: Win 10

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported macro execution with a VS Code shortcut, such as Ctrl+Shift+Alt+I, using the described steps. Trace the macro execution and VS Code keybinding handling; done means the shortcut action runs during the macro instead of only moving the cursor.
