Description
Describe the bug
Apparently you are meant to be able to cycle through autocomplete suggestions using ctrl + p and ctrl + n. While ctrl + n works (allows me to cycle down) ctrI + p opens up the VS Code Quick File Open. The feature works on my Mac but no my Linux/Ubuntu box. I see there were previously issues with this but they all appear to be closed now.
To Reproduce
- Create new file e.g. index.html - so that VS code can suggest snippets for the file type
- Go to insert mode and start typing something that triggers suggestions e.g. "ht"
- Pressing
ctrl+ptriggers Quick File Open (not cycle as expected)
Expected behavior
ctrl + p should cycle up through suggested options
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: v1.27.3
- VSCode version: 1.89.1
- OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 22.04.4 with VSCodeVim v1.27.3 and VS Code 1.89.1 using the listed autocomplete steps. Trace how Ctrl+P and Ctrl+N are handled during insert-mode suggestions; done means Ctrl+P cycles upward through suggestions without opening Quick File Open, while Ctrl+N still cycles downward.
