vim2vsc 0.1.0

Python command line application to convert vimrc to vscode compatible bindings.

This tool is meant to convert your custom vim bindings from your .vimrc into VSCode compatible bindings. At the time this tool was created, .vimrc is not officially supported by the VScodeVim extension (the most popular vim emulator for VSCode) and there are no known tool that automate the process formatting vim bindings for vscode-vim.
