Description

Describe the bug
<C-d> does not scroll down, instead it duplicates the line (normal as well as insert mode).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Press <C-d> in normal mode.

Expected behavior
The editor scrolls down half a page

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.27.2
  • VSCode version: 1.88.1
  • OS: Linux

Additional context
<C-u> works as expected (scrolling up half a page)
I've configured the extension to handle ctrl keys:
"vim.useCtrlKeys": true,
but same issue.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in VS Code 1.88.1 on Linux with VsCodeVim 1.27.2, pressing in normal and insert modes while works. Trace the Ctrl-D keybinding and scrolling behavior, then verify that Ctrl-D scrolls down half a page instead of duplicating the line.
