Vim undo and redo shortcuts not working

[paluchasz]

Same issue as microsoft/vscode-jupyter#4581 but it still isn't resolved and I can't reopen or comment on the old ticket.

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.61.0
• Jupyter Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2021.9.1101343141
• Python Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2021.10.1365161279
• Vim (vscodevim) Extension version: v1.21.10
• OS (Windows | Mac | Linux distro) and version: MacOS Big Sur 11.5.2
• Python and/or Anaconda version: 3.7.10
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): pyenv
• Jupyter server running: N/A

Expected behaviour

If you make some changes in a cell, e.g. dd to delete a line then normally in vim you can press u to undo the change and ctrl-R to redo the change.

Actual behaviour

But this doesn't work and you have to use the standard Cmd-z vscode shortcut to undo and Shift-Cmd-Z to redo.

Steps to reproduce:

Open a jupyter notebook with vscodevim extension installed. Go into a cell. Make a change. Press Esc. Press u to undo the change.

I actually just found a workaround for this though it would be nice if enabled by default. Following this post I added the following

"vim.normalModeKeyBindings": [ 
        {
            "before": ["u"], 
            "after": [],
            "commands": [
                {
                    "command": "undo", 
                    "args": []
                }
            ] 
        },
        {
            "before": ["<C-r>"], 
            "after": [],
            "commands": [
                {
                    "command": "redo", 
                    "args": []
                }
            ] 
        }  
    ]

to my settings.json (open command palette and search for Open Settings (Json) to edit).

VIM support would be handled by VS code itself. Jupyter extension doesn't do anything special here.

Hi,
I could solve the issue with the solution provided by @khanhhuy on this link:

VSCodeVim/Vim#2007 (comment)

This issue is caused by an extension, please file it with the repository (or contact) the extension has linked in its overview in VS Code or the marketplace for VS Code. See also our issue reporting guidelines. If you don't know which extension is causing the problem, you can run Help: Start extension bisect from the command palette (F1) to help identify the problem extension.

Happy Coding!
