This is very easy to achieve with vscode-neovim. Compared with quickpick, it is difficult to implement the wildmenu. Everything else is an advantage

Personally, I really don't like having the commandline in the status bar. Too many extensions already take up that space, and it can be frustrating to try and read longer text. That said, I do recognize it has some advantages, so I understand the preference. I would hope there would be an option to keep the quickpick.

Me too, but cmdline isn't used often and isn't long either. :)

Of course we should keep quickpick

VSCodeVim uses the status bar. It has some advantages, but there are no completions which is a major issue. With more bindings now supported in the quickpick menu, I think we should just try to improve the ergonomics.

Cmdline is very good at present.

Why reopen? Edge-case bugs in quickpick can and will be fixed.

Anyway, this is a feature worth considering. Edge cases always exist. If the implementation isn't straightforward, I'll close this.
