Description

Describe the bug
While searching in a file using / / ?, <ctrl>+<shift>+v pastes the clipboard content into the file and also performs basic search.
Works fine when <ctrl>+v is used.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open a file
  2. Do a basic search by pasting pattern from clipboard using <ctrl>+<shift>+v

Expected behavior
Behaviour should be same for both <ctrl>+<shift>+v and <ctrl>+v.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: v1.21.7
  • VSCode version: Version: 1.60.0 Commit: e7d7e9a9348e6a8cc8c03f877d39cb72e5dfb1ff
  • OS: Linux x64 5.13.13-arch1-1

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in VSCodeVim v1.21.7 on the reported VSCode and Linux environment, using basic search and comparing ++v with +v. Trace the extension's handling of these shortcuts during / and ? searches; done means both shortcuts paste only the search pattern and do not paste into the file.
