Known Issues
This extension does not currently support VS Code's Vim Neovim mode or any other Neovim extensions. To use Neovim within VS Code, both VS Code and the user's Neovim configuration must be set up. Since VS Code extensions do not have direct access to external applications such as Neovim, additional configuration is required for integration.
For detailed guidance on embedding Neovim in VS Code, refer to Chris Chiarulli's tutorial.
