Description

Describe the bug
After updating to the latest version (v1.26.0). The default behavior for Go to File... command is not working properly. It goes to previous line instead of showing Quick Open panel. Reverting to previous version v1.25.2 fixed this issue.

To Reproduce

  1. Open some project on your vscode
  2. Update to the latest version (v1.26.0).
  3. Open any file
  4. Make sure to focus on that file
  5. Press ctrl+p

The cursor will move up.

Expected behavior
The Quick Open panel should be open.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: v1.26.0
  • VSCode version: 1.82.0
  • OS: Windows 10 Home with WSL Ubuntu 20.04

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Ctrl+P behavior in the VSCodeVim extension with VSCode 1.82.0 and extension v1.26.0, comparing it with v1.25.2. Trace the keybinding handling that turns Ctrl+P into cursor movement instead of opening Quick Open. Done means Ctrl+P opens the Quick Open panel while the file remains focused.
