Describe the bug
After updating to version v0.17.1 VSCodeVim now prints the <tab> string for every tab keystroke. Tried with a clean vscode install without any other extensions or custom settings and still getting the issue.

To Reproduce
Press the tab key.

Expected behavior
Print indentation instead of the <tab> string.

Very interesting. Definitely a regression.

You can install a different version if you select the gear button on the extension menu.

Having the same problem; Is there a way how to downgrade to a lower version?

Currently investigating. Following a git bisect this was the commit that introduced this behaviour: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/commit/f04c09905636eddc7b372730718d7f77a839798e. I'm hoping to figure out the root cause shortly. Regardless, I'll push an update in the next hour either reverting the offending commit or with a proper fix.

No worries @jpoon, at least there is a workaround. Thanks a lot for your hard work.

I'm getting the same problem. Just started this morning.

@jpoon fix confirmed, everything working as expected in 0.17.2

Good to hear. Thanks for the follow-up @n1te1337
