Description

Issue Content:

I am experiencing an issue with the VSCode Vim extension where the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + , (which I have set in the settings.json file) does not respond as expected. However, when I change the shortcut to Ctrl + U, it works perfectly.

Here are the details of the issue:

  • Environment:

    • VSCode version: v1.99.0
    • OS: OSX Sonoma 14.7.2
    • Vim extension version: 1.29.0
  • Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Open the settings.json file in VSCode.
    2. Set the keyboard shortcut for a command to Ctrl + ,.
    3. Attempt to use the shortcut in the editor.
  • Expected Behavior: The command associated with Ctrl + , should execute without issues.

  • Actual Behavior: The shortcut does not trigger the command, while other shortcuts like Ctrl + U work as intended.

I would appreciate any guidance on resolving this issue or if it is a known bug within the extension. Thank you!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shortcut from settings.json in VSCode v1.99.0 on macOS Sonoma with Vim extension 1.29.0, comparing Ctrl + , against Ctrl + U. Check whether the command is registered and whether VSCode handles Ctrl + , differently; done means the configured command triggers reliably.
