Description

Hello,

I'm trying to load the vscode/settings.vim configuration from neovim but without success.
I have configured the vscode to load the file "vim.neovimPath": "/usr/local/bin/nvim" and enabled neovim "vim.enableNeovim": true but the settings are not loaded.

As an example, I have tried to disable the copy functionality in visual mode when I'm trying to paste a pice of text.
If I select a word, and then make a paste, the word is replaced but the next time when I do a paste I got in my clipboard the word that have been deleted.

So in neovim I have solved this problem using this:

xnoremap <expr> p 'pgv"'.v:register.'y`>'
xnoremap <expr> P 'Pgv"'.v:register.'y`>'

Any suggestions? It is possible to do this in VSCode?

Thank you,
Ovidiu

Research direction

No repository file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by checking the project's documented Neovim and settings.vim support, then trace how configuration and visual-mode paste mappings are handled. Done means the reported settings load in VSCodeVim and the paste behavior no longer overwrites the clipboard unexpectedly.
