What did you do?

I enabled "vim.useCtrlKeys": true

I mapped "ctrl+l" (that's a lowercase "L") to "", because that's a binding I like. Using this:

    "vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
        {
            "before": ["ctrl+l"],
            "after": ["<Esc>"]
        }
    ]

I have done this SAME EXACT binding, but with "ctrl+[" and "ctrl+c" instead of "ctrl+l", and those bindings DO work. I looked in the VS Code built-in key bindings and ctrl+l is not a reserved binding. I have previously come from other vim extensions for VS Code and they have been able to bind ctrl+l for me.

What did you expect to happen?

The binding to work.

What happened instead?

The binding doesn't work.
