Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When creating a key bind, have the ability to keep the cursor in a : command.
For example: { "before": ["<leader>", "/"], "commands": [":%s\/"] }, runs the command but doesn't allow the user to leave off where the command is unlike normal vim where you have to put <cr> for this behavior.
Describe the solution you'd like
A way to configure a key binding to keep the cursor in the : command. Maybe with a setting on the key bind?
Describe alternatives you've considered
Haven't found one.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing how VS Code key bindings execute : commands and compare that path with normal Vim command-line behavior; done means a key binding can intentionally leave the cursor in the command for continued editing, with coverage for the example configuration.
