Just installed VS Code with the Vim extension and everything seems to be working pretty well for me, including yy and shift-P. I had to set "vim.useCtrlKeys": true to enable some of the keybinds that override VS Code bindings.
The parent is correct though, Y doesn't work. I thought it did, so I opened it up to check, and turns out that I didn't realize this because I tend to do Vy instead of Y.
Hi! I'm one of the core developers of VSCodeVim. Shift-Y works for me, so if you can't get it to work for some reason, could you report that here?: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues
If you have any other problems, please let me know. :)
Will do, and thanks for your work here. I have always wanted to try more editors, but vim plugins are (almost notoriously) full of holes, so there's always _something_ someone uses that's broken. Yours is the best I've ever come across. Seriously, thanks. Oh, and that reply to me down-thread from Tom is really heartening as well, kudos.
(I swung by the slack and mentioned the other issue I had, and have meant to open a bug about it too, I'll get on that.)
Curious, which of the five-or-so Vim extensions are you using?
I've heard there's a bit of drama in which the top-downloaded Vim extension is poorly implemented and poorly supported by the dev, and that some of the lesser-known Vim extensions are far better.
Hi! I'm one of the core developers of VSCodeVim. I think what you've heard is pretty out-of-date - we've been crazy active over the last couple of months. You can check our github page to confirm, if you want - https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim :)
Let me know what you think if you do try to use it.
