Description
I am trying to bind keys using leader key. I added :vsplit in Normal mode and insert mode for testing. The binding is working in insert mode but not working in the normal mode.
"vim.leader": "<Space>",
"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
{
"before": ["leader", "v"],
"commands": [":vsplit"]
}
],
"vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
{
"before": ["leader", "v"],
"commands": [":vsplit"]
},
],
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.29.0
- VSCode version: 1.99.3
- OS: Windows 10
Please note my code base is in a remote machine running Ubuntu 22.04.5. I am using ssh on windows VSCode.
Can you please help?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the configuration in VSCodeVim 1.29.0 with VS Code Remote SSH on Ubuntu, testing the same leader-v mapping in normal and insert modes. Compare the behavior of the two mapping settings; done when the normal-mode mapping consistently invokes :vsplit, or the unsupported environment is documented.
