Now you have to enable it. Go back to Commands and find "Settings: User behaviors" . Then go to the :editor section between the square brackets. Type "vim" and it will show a popup with several items it can complete. Pick this one: "Vim: Activate Vim mode". It should then insert this: :lt.plugins.vim/activate-vim Save the file and it should now work!
it will be happening TWICE! I asked the original question, as I've been spending a bit of time creating an IDE, I'll be continuing development and will also be open sourcing it.
