Description

I want to have an additional option to continue using Default IM when I enter insert mode, instead of restoring the previously used IM.
As an example:

"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.restoreIM": false // Enter insert mode directly
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.restoreIM": true  // Enter insert mode and restore IM, just like now

Start by locating the existing autoSwitchInputMethod setting and the code that handles restoreIM when entering insert mode. Check for related extension tests, then verify that setting restoreIM to false keeps the default input method while true preserves the current behavior.
