Description
For a key sequence like 5 A h e l l o <C-h> Escape, VSCodeVim only insert "hell" once, but it should insert the string 5 times.
I find all 🔢 I commands that make vim goto insert mode have this problem. May these commands are not compatible with commands like Control-X.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported 5 A hello <C-h> Escape sequence in VSCodeVim and compare it with Vim's behavior. No file or test is named in the issue, so trace the handling of numbered I commands together with Control-H and Control-T. Done means the text is inserted the requested number of times and the relevant behavior is covered by a regression test.
