Conversion from .vimrc

[NelsonAPenn]

So far, I do enjoy having Vim extensions on VSCode; however, I find the configuration of VSCodeVim through the settings.json to be tedious and unintuitive.

I (as well as other die-hard Vim users, I'm sure) maintain a separate .vimrc file which I port wherever I need it, but because of the difficulty of creating the settings for VSCodeVim I often find myself simply using Vim on the GNOME terminal alongside VSCode.

I understand not supporting .vimrc's directly, but I think a tool should be added that will take a .vimrc file and create the matching settings from it. Of course, vimscript functions and other potentially unsafe code could be sanitized out. However, it would be a very nice addition to VSCodeVim to read from my .vimrc and automatically create the appropriate settings for key remappings, colorschemes, and the like.

Closing this issue as basically a duplicate of #463. Remappings read directly from a .vimrc will likely be in the next release, and while we likely will never properly support vimscript, things like simple settings will be coming soon as well.
