Description
When opening vscode, the vim extensions isn't working. Few days ago It was working, then all of the sudden, I don't know if there was an update on vscode or vim, the extension stopped working. When opening VSCode devtools I saw the error that is in the screenshot bellow, and the error says "Activating extension 'vscodevim.vim' failed: Cannot create property 'recursive' on string 'j'.".
I tried the following:
- Uninstalling and installing Vim extension;
- Downgrading the version of the Vim extension;
- Uninstalling, deleting the ~/.vscode/extensions/vscodevim-1.25.2 folder, Installing the Vim extension again;
- Uninstalling VSCode and installing again;
Nothing of the above solved the problem.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open VSCode
Expected behavior
It should load up vim extension automatically when opening vscode.
Screenshots
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.25.2
- VSCode version: 1.78
- OS: Windows 11 Pro

Research direction
Reproduce with VSCode 1.78 and VsCodeVim 1.25.2 on Windows 11, then inspect the extension activation error in VSCode DevTools. Done means the Vim extension activates automatically when VSCode opens without the reported property error.
