I cannot install the Vim VSCode extension on my headless machine through VSCode remote development nor in WSL. I think I used to be able to but I uninstalled it once and since then I haven't been able to install it again. I can only install and uninstall on my Windows computer but not remotely: when I click the button to install Windows extensions to server, the Vim VSCode extension is not part of the batch:

Edit: actually the extension stopped working in Windows as well without obvious reason.

Here is a list of my extensions: maybe I introduced incompatibilities I am not aware of:

I wonder how to get a JSON list of the extensions by the way :(

I might be wrong but I don't believe the normal VSCodeVim extension requires Vim itself to be installed as it just emulates it, so it shouldn't need installed in the remote environment as long as it is installed/enabled which it looks to be. Is it not working?

I think this answer is irrelevant. Sorry if I misformulated my question.

There was a bug in the settings JSON file. There was some syntax error, possibly caused by the installation of some other extension.
