Description
vim has the following essential keybindings which seem to not be working here:
before: "alt+h" : after: ["<esc>", "h"] // normal mode and move left
before: "alt+j" : after: ["<esc>", "j"] // normal mode and move down
before: "alt+k" : after: ["<esc>", "k"] // normal mode and move up
before: "alt+l" : after: ["<esc>", "l"] // normal mode and move right

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the VS Code Vim extension by trying Alt+h, Alt+j, Alt+k, and Alt+l in normal mode, then trace the keybinding handling for these mappings. Done means each combination exits to normal mode and moves left, down, up, or right as shown in the report.
