HI guys, I use vscode and vscode-vim extension. When executing Julia code blocks through `ctrl + enter` in normal model, then the mouse cursor will move through, if I click `Esc` or some moving commands like `e`, `w`, then the cursor will return to the very beginning where I start to execute code blocks. Here is a gif to demonstrate. The cursor shouldn’t go back ideally.

I am not sure there are some conflicts between extensions or something else.

That’s not super surprising. The nvim extension’s cursor is decoupled from the one you see in the editor, unless you’re in insert mode. AFAIK that’s the only workaround right now.

@pfitzseb  
Not sure. I disable / comment many settings of vim in the `settings.json`. Now, it looks good. In normal mode, the mouse cursor will keep at the same line when u enter `Esc`, `w`, `b`.
