Description
Describe the bug
Shift+Alt+Up/Down is a predefined shortcut for copy a line up or down. I use it quite often. Now with vim plugin enabled, the keybindings now work as Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down, which is add multiple cursor up or down. I want it back to the default keybinding.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Enable vim extension;
- Press Shift+Alt+Up/Down, the editor now adds a multiple cursor instead of copy the line.
Expected behavior
The keybindings should copy the line up and down.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.21.10
- VSCode version: 1.62.2
- OS: Win 10

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the Vim extension enabled using Shift+Alt+Up/Down in VS Code, then trace the extension's keybinding handling to find where those keys become Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down. Done means the shortcuts copy the current line up or down as expected instead of adding multiple cursors.
