Description
Describe the bug
In insert mode, when I type and then press Ctrl+u (to delete to beginning of line), then try to undo, it only moves my cursor without bringing back the deleted text.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Enter insert mode in the middle of a line
- Type some text
<C-u>- Exit insert mode
Press u
Expected behavior
Pre-existing text (prior to inserting characters) is brought back.
Actual behavior
Document not updated at all, only the cursor moves. I need to use VSCode undo to bring it back.
Screenshots
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.14.5
- VSCode version: 1.46.0-insiders
- OS: OS X 10.15.4

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in VSCodeVim using the listed insert-mode steps, then trace handling for typed keys, Ctrl+u, and the subsequent undo command. Done means pressing u restores the pre-existing text rather than only moving the cursor, with the reproduction confirmed on the affected behavior.
