Hi!

I found this repository via the Visual Studio Marketplace because it's the first hit if you search for NVim, probably because the original repository is called vscodevim and not even listed with that search result.

Looking at this repository it seems to just be a fork with no changes but it's impossible to tell if this is the actual code published to Visual Studio Marketplace.

To me this seems pretty suspicious and might come of as a bit malicious, tricking people to at best install something that won't get any updates or at worst something they shouldn't install.

What's the purpose of this fork and the fact that it's published to Visual Studio Marketplace? Is it just you trying out how publishing plugins work or do you plan any changes to this fork? I suggest adding a note to the readme what the purpose is or was and if you don't plan any future changes I suggest removing it from Marketplace so people won't end up with and old outdated plugin version.

EDIT Ooops, I see now that the default branch is still master based on the fork but you actually use main so there are plenty of changes - completely missed that - sorry!

But with that said I still think clarifying that in the readme would be a good idea, and maybe also change the default branch on this fork so people ending up here like me actually see the activity and that there are actually changes from the upstream repo.
