Minimal yet functional config for VSpaceCode with VSCode-Neovim

.vscode-neovim-init.vim

" Our .vscode-neovim directory
let data_dir = '~/.vscode-neovim'
let plugFile = data_dir . '/plug.vim'

" Download plug.vim if it doesn't exist
" Then install the plugins in this file
if empty(glob(plugFile))
  silent execute '!curl -fLo '.plugFile.' --create-dirs  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim'
  execute "autocmd VimEnter * PlugInstall --sync | source " . expand('%:p')
endif

" Source vim-plug directly since we install it in a non-autoload directory
execute "source " . expand(plugFile)

call plug#begin(data_dir)
Plug 'chaoren/vim-wordmotion'
Plug 'justinmk/vim-sneak'
Plug 'rhysd/clever-f.vim'
Plug 'tpope/vim-surround'
call plug#end()

" VSCode built-in commenting works way better than NERDcommenter
" Use C-/ to comment/uncomment

And also, first step is to disable the vscodevim extension and enable the vscode-neovim extension.

After I do a / search, I expect n to be able to go to the next search result but it doesn't. Also, the major-mode leader, ,, doesn't work.

Hey @gdw2 - I abandoned this method a while ago. I found that I was not able to get vscode working reliably with a vim like setup. I’m now happily using neovim.
