Description

VSCode Vim extension seems to be interfering with the Stable Peek setting which is especially bad for Vim users since typing escape is generally an idempotent action.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Enable vscodevim Extension
  • enable Stable Peek setting
  • Ctrl or cmd click a symbol to find references
  • Hit ESC in the peek window

Expected Behavior:

The peek window stays open

Observed Behavior:

The peek window closes

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior with the VSCodeVim extension and Stable Peek enabled, following the Ctrl/Cmd-click and Escape steps in the issue. Trace the extension's Escape handling during the peek interaction, and confirm the peek window remains open while Escape still behaves idempotently for Vim users.
