Description
Discussed in https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/discussions/7331

I'm practising VIM edit commands, as I input ":r !date", the editor stopped responding to any further commands. I have tried several times, also tried disable VIM plugin and enable again, does not work. I have to restart VS code to recover it.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported hang in VS Code with the Vim extension enabled, using the :r !date command. Compare the behavior with Vim disabled and record whether the editor remains responsive; the issue is complete when the command no longer leaves VS Code unable to accept further commands.
