Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are two input modes in a Chinese IM typically, English mode and Chinese mode, which can be switch between by Shift. This is more convenient than switching IM by Win+Space on Windows 10.
In vscode, with imswitcher enabled and my own configs, it switches to English IM when ESC pressed. If I open another file, and press i entering insert mode, the IM is English, I have to press Win+Space to switch, before which several Shifts are pressed unconsciously.
Describe the solution you'd like
I think it is caused by the code this.savedIMKey = '' in constructor. If add a config, e.g. autoSwitchInputMethod.insertmodeInitialIM, and let this.savedIMKey = autoSwitchInputMethod.insertmodeInitialIM in constructor, the problem solved, without side effect.

Research direction
Locate the imswitcher implementation and inspect the constructor where this.savedIMKey is initialized. Trace how autoSwitchInputMethod configuration is read and how insert-mode switching uses the saved input method. Done means an initial insert-mode input method can be configured and is used when entering insert mode in a new file.
