In my vimrc, I use , as the leader key, and use \ to go prev in f search:

let mapleader = ','
noremap \ ,

When using this plugin in VSCode, I put this in my settings.json:

  "vim.leader": ",",
  "vim.normalModeKeyBindings": [
    {
      "before": ["\\"],
      "after": [","]
    }
  ]

the \ doesn't work in f search.

@zkerhcy Give this a try "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive"

@nshen This could work, provided that you do not have easymotion enabled nnoremap <leader>, ,

@zkerhcy Give this a try "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive"

I tried it and it doesn't work:

{
  "vim.leader": ",",
  "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
      "before": ["\\"],
      "after": [","],
    },
  ]
}

Not sure why it's like this. Maybe @J-Fields will have some input, and an idea of how to resolve it (which I can try to implement).
