How to configure Mac <Cmd + c> to not exit insert mode for normal mode visual studio vim

Question

In visual studio code on my Macbook Pro, I have installed the basic vim mode extension. When I am in insert mode, and I click <Cmd + c> (to copy text in insert mode, I am aware of yank in normal mode), the cursor exits insert mode and enters normal mode. How do I configure visual studio code to not do this?

Answer 1

Add the following line to your settings.json file (note: <C-c> for windows, <D-c> for Mac since D maps to Cmd):

"vim.handleKeys":{
    "<D-c>": false
},
