Description
I'm trying to remap cmd+a while in insert mode to be essentially [ "<ESC>", "cmd+a" ], but I can't find any way to do it. Tried giving the actual VSCode keymap codes (like cmd+a) and things like <D-a> (which is supported by MacVim) but I can't seem to make it work.
Am I just missing something completely obvious, or can VSCodeVim not remap shortcuts related to the cmd key on the Mac?
