Description
When you move an editor tab to a new window, the vim command line prompts appear in the status bar of the main window, not the new separate window.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Right click on an editor tab and choose "Move into New Window". The Editor for the open file moves into a new separate window.
- Type anything that would switch vim into command mode, such as ':' or '/'
- Notice that the command prompt appears in the status bar of the main VS code window, not of the new current Editor window.
Expected behavior
The vim command prompt should appear in the status bar of the active Editor window.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: v1.27.1
- VSCode version: 1.85.0
- OS: Same issue on both Windows and Linux
