Description

Describe the bug
Unable to override keybindings of major mode in VS code.

To Reproduce
The keybinding that I am trying to add is as follows,

"vspacecode.bindingOverrides": [
{
"keys": ["m.languageId:python.e"],
"name": "... error",
"type": "bindings",
"bindings": [
{
"key": "n",
"name": "Go to next error (py)",
"type": "command",
"commmand": "editor.action.marker.nextInFiles",
}
]
}
]

Expected behavior
After I click "," to enter the major mode, I expect that there would be a "e" option

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version:
  • VSCode version: 1.85

Research direction

Start by reproducing the vspacecode.bindingOverrides configuration in VS Code on macOS, focusing on the major-mode keybinding and the Python language condition. Trace how the extension processes the override and verify that pressing "," exposes the expected "e" option for the command.
