FEATURE REQUEST

Right now, adding a keybinding to vim.otherModesKeyBindingsNonRecursive is very verbose (especially when adding 5-6 of them). For example,

"vim.otherModesKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
      "before": ["g", "r"],
      "after": [],
      "commands": [
        {
          "command": "editor.action.referenceSearch.trigger",
          "args": []
        }
      ]
    }
]

Some extra fields can be emitted and this can be collapsed to

"vim.otherModesKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
      "before": ["g", "r"],
      "commands": [
        {
          "command": "editor.action.referenceSearch.trigger"
        }
      ]
    }
]

but that is still very verbose. It'd be really nice if there was support for a "command" property which would make it less verbose, ie,

"vim.otherModesKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
      "before": ["g", "r"],
      "command": "editor.action.referenceSearch.trigger"
    }
]

Thanks!

You can omit the empty arguments. However, in order to support multiple commands, we need for them to be in an array. You can however, put it all in one line if that makes it more neater...

"vim.otherModesKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
        "before": ["Z", "Z"],
        "commands": [ {"command": ":wq" } ]
    }
],
