My settings.json

    "vim.useCtrlKeys": false,
    "vim.overrideCopy": true,
    "vim.hlsearch": true,
    "vim.useSystemClipboard": false,
    "vim.visualstar": true,
    "vim.handleKeys": {
        "<C-f>": true,
        "<C-b>": true,
        "<C-u>": true,
        "<C-r>": true,
        "<C-v>": true,
        "<C-[>": true,
        "<C-w>": true,
    },
    "vim.cursorStylePerMode.normal" : "block",
    "vim.cursorStylePerMode.insert": "line-thin",
    "vim.cursorStylePerMode.replace": "block-outline",
    "vim.statusBarColorControl": true,

Compatibility With Other Extensions

It is possible to combine this extension with other cursor movement extensions.

You can use the inRegionMode context flag in the when clause of your keybindings.json to provide different behaviours for region mode and cursor mode. The default key bindings are laid out as follows:

{
    "key": "DESIRED KEY",
    "command": "CURSOR MOVE COMMAND",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && !inRegionMode"
},
{
    "key": "DESIRED KEY",
    "command": "CURSOR MOVE & SELECT COMMAND",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && inRegionMode"
}
