Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've been using VS Code vim and when launching the editor with --diff I expected it to work like vimdiff.
But it doesn't.
To start, no implementation is available for :diffget, :diffput and :diffupdate
There are also various other shortcuts for diff mode that would be nice
]c : - next difference
[c : - previous difference
do - diff obtain
dp - diff put
Describe the solution you'd like
