Description

In addition to the leader, could localleader also be supported? This would be benefit to me as I want to map my existing vim keymap to VSCode.

Research direction
Examine the implementation of leader key in VSCodeVim, likely in src/configuration/configuration.ts or similar. The localleader feature would require adding a new config option and modifying input handling to recognize <LocalLeader> mappings. Check existing keybindings and how leader is resolved. Consider conversation in the issue for design details.
