In Visual Studio Code, when i try to use Ctrl+C to copy something, it changes the insert mode instead. There is a blue bar at the bottom of the screen, with all the informations about the file (python interpreter, number of line and column of the cursor, ...) and -INSERT-
. When I press Ctrl+C, the -INSERT-
switches to -NORMAL-
and I can't copy what I highlighted.

6You might have the VSCodeVim extension installed: [VS code VIM extension copy and paste](https://stackoverflow.com/q/58306002/2745495) – Gino Mempin Apr 26 '21 at 12:20

I too had this issue. Resolved was by disabling the VIM extension or you can uninstall it too.

2Worth mentioning that this person probably wants the extension and is familiar with it. Removing the extension is not automatically a solution for most people who use it. Instead, a question like [VS code VIM extension copy and paste](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58306002/vs-code-vim-extension-copy-and-paste) might yield a good answer for those people. – AndrewF Feb 16 '22 at 01:43
