Vim: I want normal mode in the terminal

[RaderH2O]

So I am a NeoVim user and I wanted to try VS Code , I had fun with it , specially when I found out it had a vim plugin!
But there were some limitations and one of them annoys me so much .

Well , when in a VS Code terminal , I always want to be able to use normal mode , since most of my keymappings are in normal mode . And why do I need it? For switching to another split WITHOUT touching the mouse , for easier movement , visual mode etc.

Although I tried to find a way/alternative to this , I found nothing .

I had the same problem and added the following to keybindings.json

  {
    "key": "alt+h",
    "command": "workbench.action.navigateLeft"
  },
  {
    "key": "alt+l",
    "command": "workbench.action.navigateRight"
  },
  {
    "key": "alt+k",
    "command": "workbench.action.navigateUp"
  },
  {
    "key": "alt+j",
    "command": "workbench.action.navigateDown"
  },

Now I can use these shortcuts to navigate windows in VS Code. Works to navigate to the sidebar too.
