In my Visual Studio Code, I need to hit \'I\' to enter to the Edit Mode. Hit \'Esc\' for the Normal Mode. Selecting the word enables the Visual Mode. In visual mode, I can\'
go to extensions, type Vim, disable/uninstall.
Cheers
if you use VSCode with Unity3D because of the fact its lighter on resources and better than MonoDevelop and have added the unity3d-pack (which force installs vim for some unknown reason and you can't disable the vim extension) you can override its startup mode in your personal settings.json file by putting
"vim.startInInsertMode": true
in it. I persoinally hate the way it is setup as well, but the extentions I use with Unity3D outweigh the downfalls of the other ones. Hope this helps someone.
