Set vim.command in VSCodeContext on key press.
What this PR does / why we need it:
This PR sets vim.command in VSCodeContext to recordedState.commandString. This allows pending actions that are waiting for a movement argument (e.g. d or y) to be read in the when clause of keyboard shortcuts.
There is currently no change to VSCodeContext in such a pending state, making it impossible to correctly configure some keyboard shortcuts, such as commands that should be activated in Normal mode, but not if a command is started. Making that information available in VS Code's context gives users greater flexibility and precision in setting up custom keyboard shortcuts.
Which issue(s) this PR fixes
Fixes #7833 by allowing users to add !vim.command to the when clause of the keyboard shortcut.
Special notes for your reviewer:
I didn't see a good way to add a unit test for this, as I am not sure how to access VSCodeContext within a test, but I did build and debug the change with Inspect context keys and confirm that vim.command gets updated as the user types and properly reset when their command completes.
awesome idea, I'm still waiting for this feature.
Also waiting for this feature. I use Shift+H and Shift+L to move between editors in Vim, but in VSCodeVim if I try to use rH or rL to single replace, it moves editors instead. Not a problem in Vim itself.
