both of the screenshots are taken in debug mode:

Hello,

Although not exactly what you were asking for, it is possible to remap pretty much any vscode command in VSCodeVim using the "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive" setting and the "commands" attribute. In your case it would look like this:

  "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    { "before": ["leader", "g", "h"], "commands": ["editor.debug.action.showDebugHover"] },
]

This remapping does not automatically detect when VSCode is in debug mode but it might still be useful.
