Can we add custom keybinding on VSCODE's VIm Extension?

I was using Vim in visual studio code, i want to use 'jj' to exit from insert mode. How can add this custom keybinding in visual studio code.

I tried to add it in VS CODE shortcuts. but i can't see any option to add our own shortcuts.

Solution

  • You can modify your user settings to add this custom. Adding the following code to your settings.json will help you use jj to exit insert mode.

    "vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
        {
            "before": [
                "j",
                "j"
            ],
            "after": [
                "<Esc>"
            ]
        }
    ]
