Description

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a configuration that I've missed. In my setup with a fresh install of vscodevim I have to press shift+enter to execute commands in the statusbar : prompt.

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior in a fresh VSCodeVim install by opening command mode with ':' and pressing Enter or Shift+Enter. Trace the command-mode key handling from there; done means Enter executes the command without requiring Shift.
