Description

Describe the bug
VSCode's native find now enters Visual mode, it should remain in Normal mode. I've downgraded to 1.16.0 to get around it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Use VSCode's find (cmd+f for MacOSX) for any search term

Expected behavior
It should remain in normal mode. Similar to how / works for Vim's native search

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.17.1
  • VSCode version: 1.50.1
  • OS: Mac OSX Catalina 10.15.5

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in VSCode 1.50.1 with VSCodeVim 1.17.1 by pressing cmd+f on macOS and entering a search term. Trace the extension's handling of VSCode's native find and verify that the editor remains in Normal mode, matching Vim's / search behavior.
