Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I open VSCode Find (Ctrl F), type my stuff and VsCodeVim enters Visual Mode. This makes me have to press ESC twice, once to close Find box, another one to leave Visual Mode.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add option to disable behavior "Enter Visual Mode on VSCode Find (Ctrl F)"
Describe alternatives you've considered
Can't think of anything else. Changing the default behavior doesn't seem reasonable to me in principle.

Research direction
Start by locating the VSCodeVim entry point that handles VSCode Find (Ctrl F) and causes Visual Mode to open. Trace how user options are defined and applied, then add a configurable way to disable this behavior and verify that Find no longer enters Visual Mode when the option is disabled.
