Description
In keybinding.json, I have
{
"key": "shift+r",
"command": "workbench.action.nextEditor",
"when": "vim.mode == 'Normal'"
},
{
"key": "shift+e",
"command": "workbench.action.previousEditor",
"when": "vim.mode == 'Normal'"
},
which makes it possible to switch tabs by E and R, but there is a problem that I can't replace a character to 'E' or 'R' by rR or rE, they just act as tab switching.
So how can I do it?

Research direction
The report identifies keybinding.json and the two VS Code keybindings; start by reproducing the rR/rE behavior with those entries and inspect the extension's keybinding handling. Done would be a documented or tested resolution that preserves normal-mode tab switching without breaking character replacement.
