Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Does vim.autoSwitchInputMethod work with vscode remote now? I'm using Windows and connect to a Linux machine using vscode remote. But these configurations are not supported on remote ("This setting cannot be applied in this window. It will be applied when you open a local window."):

  • vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.defaultIM
  • vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.obtainIMCmd
  • vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.switchIMCmd

Research direction

Start by investigating how VSCodeVim handles vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.defaultIM, obtainIMCmd, and switchIMCmd in a VS Code remote window. Reproduce the reported Windows-to-Linux remote setup and determine whether the settings can be applied remotely; done means autoSwitchInputMethod works in that setup without the settings being restricted to a local window.
