Description
Describe the bug
In vim, :vs <filename> should open a new vertical split with the file <filename>, however it currently opens a vertical split with whatever file was in the previous window.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open a file
<first-file>. :vs <other-file>- Notice that while a vertical split is created, both panes contain
<first-file>
Expected behavior
After doing :vs <other-file>, we should expect <other-file> to be opened in the new split.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.24.3
- VSCode version: 1.73.1
- OS: MacOS Monterey 12.5.1

Research direction
Start by reproducing :vs <other-file> in the VSCodeVim extension and trace the :vs command handling. Compare the requested filename with the file opened in the new split; done means the new pane contains <other-file> rather than <first-file>. No specific source file or test is named in the issue.
