Description
I love this extension but one issue I'm having is that I often need to be able to copy text and past it outside of my project. For that yank doesn't work. Is there way to either disable this extension with a key press or two, just long enough to do a normal copy/past or a way to leave the extension enabled to press a key or two that will allow the cursor to turn in to a non vim cursor for the purpose of copy/past. Thanks.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the copy/paste problem in the VS Code extension and trace how Vim keybindings handle clipboard actions. Done means users can temporarily perform a normal external copy/paste through a clearly defined keyboard interaction.
