Description
I have been using the original VI on Linux (and Unix) for 40 years.
The following are how it works and have been engrained into my nerve Synapsys:
Ctrl-P : Move cursor to previous line. I realize that I am supposed to use 'j', but it is too late.
Ctrl-N : Move cursor to next line. I realize that I am supposed to use 'k', but it is too late.
Anyway, I wish Ctrl-[NP] were supported.
Is there any way I can set those behaviors in the extension settings.

Research direction
Review the VSCodeVim extension settings and keybinding behavior for Ctrl-P and Ctrl-N. Check whether these mappings can be configured without conflicting with VS Code defaults. Done means Ctrl-P moves to the previous line and Ctrl-N to the next line, either through supported settings or extension behavior.
