Description
I'm not sure if this is a known bug, but it is making VSCodeVim unusable for me. It seems to have started only recently (last 1 or three days)
When I CMD-V into a selection it works, but I lose all ability to edit in vscode. It's as if my keyboard lost connection. Pressing any key does nothing. I've tried CTR-C and ESC, nothing, no response.
Note: It's definitely v1.20.1 that is broken. I just switched back to v1.20.0 and now the bug went away

Research direction
Start by reproducing the CMD-V paste into a selection on VSCodeVim v1.20.1, then compare the same action with v1.20.0. The fix is complete when editing and keyboard input continue to work after pasting, without regressing the earlier version's behavior.
