How do I get VSCode Vim Extension to Control VSCode Keybindings?

[Maxed0utt]

I am trying to get the Vim extension to run the VSCode shortcuts and I can't seem to figure out how to get it going.

for example:

In Vim i use t to open a terminal below. In VSCode this is Ctr+Shift+ or h and l to switch between splits is Ctr+1 and Ctr+2 in VSCode

I have tried remapping the Vim keys to the VSCode commands like this:

"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
{
    "before": ["<leader>", "h"],
    "after": ["<C-1>"]
},

]
but it doesn't seem to work.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Not entirely sure what you're trying to bind, but try using "commands" instead of "after" to trigger events in VSCode. For example:

"vim.normalModeKeyBindings": [{
    "before": ["t"],
    "commands": ["workbench.action.togglePanel"],
    "silent": true
}]
