In normal .vimrc I have following mapping:

:nnoremap <leader>s G$vggx

To delete everything from bottom to up. I would like to something similar in VS Code vim plugin (in settings.json):

"vim.normalModeKeyBindings": [
 {
  "before" : ["leader", "s"],
  "after" : ["G$vggx"]
 }
],

Of course does nothing, but having type it manually, then it works. So how to make the vs extension accept these key sequence?

There are two solutions that come to mind.

Using the built-in vim-textobj-entire

The text object ae represents the entire content of a buffer in Vim for VSCode. You can use this text object in combination with the d command.

Adding your own mapping

Add the following to your settings.json file in VSCode.

    "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
        {
        "before": ["<leader>", "s"],
        "after": ["g", "g", "d", "G"]
        }
     ]

Then you can type <leader>-s to delete the contents of your current editor.

Please note that it is not necessary to visual select what you want to delete; therefore I used ggdG.
