inoremap not working with Vim emulation and custom vimrc in Visual Studio Code

I’m using the Vim extension in Visual Studio Code.

I have set up a vimrc path to use my custom vim commands. All of them work (from what I see) except this one to remap Escape:

:inoremap jj <Esc>

which always prints "jj" instead of quitting insert mode. Any idea why? Is this extension limited to keybindings in normal mode and not insert mode?

Still not sure if this is a bug or what, but as a workaround, setting this remap directly in settings.json works:

"vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
  {
    "before": ["j", "j"],
    "after": ["<Esc>"]
  }
]
