Description
This issue will be used as a roadmap for supporting Vim seamlessly in the native notebook editor in VS Code. The native notebook consists of text editors, in which Vim can be enabled. However there are conflicts between Jupyter style commands and Vim's builtin ones. The Vim extension currently is not aware of the notebook concept thus it usually doesn't escape the cell editor.
Known issues:
-
jkon cell boundary (it should move to near cell) -
alt+deleteto clear output doesn't work

Research direction
Start by reproducing the unchecked native-notebook issue: use Vim in a VS Code cell editor and test whether alt+delete clears the cell output. Read the existing notebook and Vim keybinding behavior around the cell editor; done means output can be cleared with alt+delete without disrupting Vim commands or cell-boundary behavior.
