Description
There are 2 extensions in the marketplace that point back to this repo. One calls itself Vim Official but looks like a fake, it only has a few k downloads.
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vims-vsce.vscode-vim
The one called vscodevim.vim looks more likely to be real to me, it has 8 million downloads, and is referenced in this repo.
Is the one called "Vim Official" at all legit? If not is there a way to get it off the marketplace?
