How do I remap the keybindings to change modes in vscode vim extension from insert to normal mode?

Question

How does one change the shortcut to switch between insert mode and normal mode?
Where can I find a list of all vim extension shortcuts and their commands? I searched for them in keyboard shortcuts but you can only search by keybindings which complicates things.

Thanks!

I settled on mapping ^ + [ to the command extension.vim_escape. Additional detail for the community:
- Open keybindings.json
  - ⇧ + ⌘ + p or ctrl + shift + p by default
  - Enter Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts
  - Select the file icon in the top-right corner of the pane:
- Add the following JSON object to the list:
```
{
"key": "ctrl+[",
"command": "extension.vim_escape",
"when": "editorTextFocus && vim.active && !inDebugRepl"
}
```
- Notes:
  - Setting "vim.useCtrlKeys": true in settings.json might also be required
  - I assume that a different escape sequence could also be used
  - I'm using vscodevim.vim version v1.17.2 on macOS
In the keyboard shortcuts UI (not the JSON file), searching for extension.vim_ showed a list of Vim "Commands" that can be sent to the Vim emulator according to their keybindings
- For example, after performing the above, searching for extension.vim_escape provides the following:
