Description

  • Click thumbs-up 👍 on this issue if you want it!
  • Click confused 😕 on this issue if not having it makes VSCodeVim unusable.

The VSCodeVim team prioritizes issues based on reaction count.

I had searched through the issues, but I couldn't find a relevant one, so my question is simple, is the :abbreviate feature supported in VsCodeVim? Or is it supported through NeoVim integration?

Research direction
Investigate whether :abbreviate is already supported via NeoVim integration. If not, study the Vim abbreviation feature and the VSCodeVim architecture to determine how to implement it. Look at existing Vim commands in the codebase for patterns. The issue lacks a clear specification, so the contributor should propose a design before implementation.
