I might have same or related problem. When switching or adding folders (to workspace), extension stops working and I am stuck in whatever mode I'm I was in. Various commands fail to work and I get errors "command 'extension.vim_<command>' not found"

• Extension (VsCodeVim) version:v1.21.7
• VSCode version:1.60.2
• OS: Windows 10

Current fix is to remove custom vim settings, disable extension, re-enable extension, re-add settings.

Thank you.
After delete extensions folder and reinstall extension, It works well

This issue is currently happening to me in codespaces. Rebuilding the codespace does not resolve the issue.

Downgrading to 1.21.7 from 1.21.8 resolved the issue.

I'll add my issue here too (M1 mac on Monterey).

I blew away everything VS Code related and reinstalled, but escape is still broken
