Description

Issue Type: Bug

Every time I launch VSC or open a new foler or file, it's as though I have hit the ESC key. I end up having to press the o key to get back to editing. It's a small issue. Also this is only a problem on my Macbook, my Windows PC is fine.

Extension version: 1.17.1
VS Code version: Code 1.51.1 (e5a624b788d92b8d34d1392e4c4d9789406efe8f, 2020-11-11T01:11:34.018Z)
OS version: Darwin x64 19.6.0

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the startup and new-file behavior on macOS with VSCodeVim 1.17.1 and the listed VS Code version, then compare it with Windows. Done means opening the extension or a file enters normal editing without pressing o.
