Hi,

Would it be possible to implement a setting to change the 'Scroll down full page' Ctrl-F shortcut? It conflicts with the native VSCode 'Find' shortcut. The 'Differences From Vim' section explains why the vim search command was removed,

SimpleVim has no / (search) command. Instead you can either use the f motion or the native VSCode find. Between them most of the uses for / are taken care of.

but does not explain why the native shortcut was overwritten. This likely goes against the project's philosophy, in that

SimpleVim prioritizes simplicity and integration with native VSCode features over compatibility with Vim.

We still have the project-wide search (Ctrl-Shift-F) but this isn't practical for searching a single file. I often use Ctrl-F or / to search without using the mouse (pretty much the reason why I like vim) but that doesn't seem to be possible with the extension's current implementation.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and whether this was an intentional design choice or perhaps an oversight.

Thanks!
