Description
Describe the bug
My current settings.json looks like this. However, when ever I go into visual mode, my cursor keys do not work at all. How do I get my visual mode key binds to map correctly? Thanks!

Research direction
Reproduce the report in Visual Studio Code using the shown settings.json and the vim.visualModeKeyBindings entries; first confirm whether the i/k/j/h mappings are recognized in visual mode. No source file or test is identified, so done would be verified by those visual-mode mappings working as described.
