Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
EDIT: QUICK HACK (put this in your settings.json):
"vim.visualModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
{
"before": ["<C-i>"],
"commands": ["interactiveEditor.start"]
}
],
"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
{
"before": ["<C-i>"],
"commands": ["interactiveEditor.start"]
}
],
The default key to open Copilot Chat window (in-editor) is ctrl+i, when the extension is active, it doesn't work.
Describe the solution you'd like
ctrl+i on normal or visual mode to open the same panel.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Quick hack would be mapping ctrl+i on settings.json, unsure what the "open chat panel" command is exactly.

Research direction
Start with the settings.json workaround and the interactiveEditor.start command named in the issue, then trace how VS CodeVim handles Ctrl+I in normal and visual modes. Done means Ctrl+I or Command+I opens the same Copilot Chat panel in both modes without requiring a user keybinding.
