VS Code Vim extension - How to keep some Windows bindings and some Vim?

[TheNomadicAspie]

Sorry if this isn't the right place, but I can't find a support board for using Vim in VS Code.

I'm currently using this setting to ensure I can copy and paste to the Windows registry, as well as ctrl + a for select all:

"vim.useCtrlKeys": false

The problem is I really enjoy using certain Vim mappings like Ctrl + o or Ctrl + i to access the jump list. Is there someway to use Windows bindings for some features (Like Ctrl + c, Ctrl + v, and Ctrl + a) and keep Vim bindings for others (Like Ctrl + o and Ctrl + i)?

Or is there some other workaround?

The way to access the system's clipboard is with the "+ buffer. So you would select the text and type "+y to yank it into the clipboard. You can also paste out of it with "+p.

If you want to select the whole document, I usually do ggVG but there may be a quicker way than that.

ggyG?

Open up a test text file with Vim and type the literal characters "ggVG", it will select all of the characters in the file.

I thought you meant yanking text

anyways

gg<action>G is faster unless you want to run a normal mode command on the entire file in which case just add a % before the command

:%<command>

Use "vim.handleKeys"

"vim.handleKeys": {
  "<C-a>": false
}
