Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I pretty much only use vscode but occasionally I want to use vim instead, but of course, since I rarely use the "real" vim I haven't spent the time to set that up properly, and if I did, any changes I make to vscode vim won't be reflected.
Describe the solution you'd like
Option to import settings from .vimrc file or export vscode vim settings to generate a .vimrc file. This would have to be lossy to some extent but keybindings/plugins etc. should be fairly doable (from my very limited understanding of vim!).
Describe alternatives you've considered
I think the only other option would be to manually try to keep them in sync or deal with things working differently
Additional context
Thanks for this awesome project :)

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by examining how VSCode Vim settings, keybindings, and plugins are represented, then compare those with the requested .vimrc import and export paths. Done would require a defined, tested scope for the supported conversion and its known lossy behavior.
