Manual Vim Configuration

[PRATIK-CHOLKE]

While setting vim for vs code I have modified my settings.json and keybindings.json files. How do apply that kinds of modifications in Visual Studio 2022?

Following are two files from vscode.

settings.json

{
"vim.easymotion": true,
    "vim.incsearch": true,
    "vim.useSystemClipboard": true,
    "vim.useCtrlKeys": false,
    "vim.hlsearch": true,
    "vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
        {
          "before": ["j", "j"],
          "after": ["<Esc>"]
        }
    ],
    "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
        {
          "before": ["<leader>", "d"],
          "after": ["d", "d"]
        },
        {
          "before": ["<C-n>"],
          "commands": [":nohl"]
        }
    ],
    "vim.leader": "<space>",
    "vim.handleKeys": {
        "<C-a>": false,
        "<C-f>": false
    },
}

keybindings.json

[
    {
        "key": "tab",
        "command": "tab",
        "when": "editorTextFocus && !editorTabMovesFocus"
    },
    {
        "key": "shift-tab",
        "command": "outdent",
        "when": "editorTextFocus && !editorTabMovesFocus"
    }
]

Note: I have installed VsVim 2022 extension on Visual Studio 2022.

To customize VsVim in Visual Studio you generally apply the desired mappings to your _vsvimrc file. There you can use standard :nmap style commands to customize your bindings just as you would for vim proper.

Okay. But could you please let me know where _vsvimrc file is located? Or do I need to create that file? My vimfiles folder has subfolders as keymap plugin syntax etc but all those folders are empty.

Look in %USERPROFILE% (or $env:USERPROFILE, in PowerShell).
(I think it could also be named .vsvimrc.)
If you don't have vim installed, you will probably have to create the _vsvimrc file.
Note jaredpar's comment -- _vsvimrc uses vim keymapping syntax, not VSCode's json.
Also, not all mappings supported in VSCodeVim are necessarily supported in VsVim for VS2022.

It should exist in the same place as a _vimrc file. Typically most users put this inside of %USERPROFILE%.

Or do I need to create that file?

You need to create that file
