Description

Describe the bug
If the space mark is set (which is not possible in native vim), there seems to be no way to remove it

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Enable vim.showMarksInGutter settings
  2. Go to any line of the currently open file
  3. Press m <space>
  4. The mark space is displayed to the left of the current line
  5. There is no way to remove it, even run vim cmd :delmarks!

Expected behavior
Disable the space mark, or allow vim cmd :delmarks! to remove it

Screenshots

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: v1.27.2
  • VSCode version: v.1.87.0
  • OS: Windows 11

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce the issue with vim.showMarksInGutter enabled by setting the space mark with m <space>, then trace mark display and the :delmarks! command handling; done means the space mark can be removed or disabled and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
