Breaks vim plugins

Specifically this https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscodevim.vim

but a few others too..

Unfortunately there's no way for this plugin not to break this vim plugins since it uses the same technique of overriding Code's type command. As far as I understand, only one extension can do that at a time. Until Code introduces a more direct API for modifying formatting behavior on the fly I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to fix this.

@briankendall Then I suggest a shortcut to toggle this extension. It does not need to be on all the time.

I suppose nothing has changed regarding this? :/
If this could work on the modified lines whenever the file is saved I believe this issue would be solved. I would help if I could but I know nothing about javascript let alone vscode extension programming...

Admittedly I haven't touched this in a while, especially since it's been working for me (as I do not use vim plugins).

I haven't checked back to see whether Code has added the necessary APIs to allow this without overriding type. If it has then I could update the extension.

Just an FYI microsoft/vscode#13441

There's been a lot of issues. The latest discussion does seem to imply an ability to make a temporary claim.

I've been waiting for VSCode to implement a proper API for hooking into typing since I first wrote this extension. (And apparently others have been waiting even longer than that!) It seems that it still does not have the API required.
