bug: remapping hjkl in nvim config leads to issues with visual mode

Check the following:

• I have tried setting vscode-neovim.neovimClean in VSCode settings and restarting VSCode.
• I have read the vscode-neovim docs.
• I have searched existing (closed!) issues.

Neovim version (nvim -v)

0.12.2

VSCode version and flavor (Cursor, vscodium, …)

VS Code 1.125.0

Operating system/version

Win 11

Problem (including log messages)

If you remap hjkl keys to something else (because of non qwerty kb layout), visual mode doesn't work well. The selection lags behind, and if you need to change direction from (doing right-iiii first and then trying to do left-m) it takes multiple key presses for the cursor to get going in that direction.

If there's a way to remap the keys in the extension without putting that in nvim -- I'd try to use that, but I haven't found it.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Add to neovim config:

local simple_remap = function(a, b)
	local modes = { "n", "x", "o" }
	local options = { noremap = true, silent = true }
	vim.keymap.set(modes, a, b, options)
end

simple_remap("H", "^")
simple_remap("L", "$")

simple_remap("H", "^")
simple_remap("L", "$")

-- Colemak
simple_remap("j", "n")
simple_remap("n", "j")

simple_remap("k", "e")
simple_remap("e", "k")

simple_remap("m", "h")
simple_remap("h", "m")

simple_remap("l", "i")
simple_remap("i", "l")

simple_remap("J", "N")
simple_remap("N", "J")

simple_remap("K", "E")
simple_remap("E", "K")

simple_remap("L", "I")
simple_remap("I", "$")

simple_remap("M", "^")
simple_remap("H", "M")

1. Go into visual selection mode

2. Keys m, i doesn't function properly.

Expected Behavior

Keys function properly after remapping in visual mode.
