Description
I'm attempting to remap d to "_d, D to "_D, c to ="c, and C to ="C
When I edit the settings file and use before/after, I noticed I can't use single quotes to wrap the "
I also can't use nnoremap and vnoremap, so is there no way to do this?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the remapping in settings.json using before and after, including the requested double-quote mappings. Check how nnoremap and vnoremap are handled in the VSCode Vim key-remapping entry points. Done means the requested mappings can be configured without invalid JSON or unsupported quote syntax, with the behavior verified in the extension.
