Description

Describe the bug

C-w C-w is by default the same as C-w w but this is not the case.

Also adding the following bindings does not work.

  "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
      "before": ["C-w", "C-w"],
      "after": ["C-w", "w"]
    }
]

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Press C-w C-w

Expected behavior

Same as C-w w (next pane.)

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: v1.25.2
  • VSCode version: 1.77.3 (Universal)
  • OS: macOS 13.3.1 (22E261)

Research direction

Start by reproducing C-w C-w in VSCodeVim with the reported VSCode, extension, and macOS versions, then compare it with C-w w. Check the vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive configuration shown in the report and verify that the fix makes both the default binding and the manual mapping move to the next pane.
