Description

Hi..

I have remap my key to use kj to exit insert mode to normal mode.
Is there a way, so that i can use the same key binding (kj) to escape multi cursor mode?
Thx

Research direction

Start by tracing how VSCodeVim handles custom key mappings for insert-mode escape and how multi-cursor mode is entered or exited. Check the existing mapping and multi-cursor handling code and related tests, if present. Done means the same kj binding exits both insert mode and multi-cursor mode without breaking normal-mode behavior.
