Description

    {
      "before": [
        "<leader>",
        "l"
      ],
      "commands": [
        {
          "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
          "args": {
            "snippet": "fmt.Println(\"$1 =\", $1)"
          }
        },
        "vim.changeToInsertMode"
      ]
    },

Is there any way to make "vim.changeToInsertMode" possible?

Research direction

Start by tracing how custom keybindings execute the listed commands, including editor.action.insertSnippet and vim.changeToInsertMode. Done means a configuration like the example can insert the snippet and then switch to insert mode, or the supported limitation is documented.
