VSCodeVIM not working: command 'type' already exists at _.registerCommand

[elefthei]

Describe the bug Plugin does not work. Escape does not work. Can type into my file while in "Normal" mode, no vim key combinations work. Specific error in Developer console:

console.ts:137 [Extension Host] stack trace: Error: command 'type' already exists at _.registerCommand (/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/services/extensions/node/extensionHostProcess.js:674:270) at Object.registerCommand (/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/services/extensions/node/extensionHostProcess.js:977:119) at R (/Users/lef/.vscode/extensions/vscodevim.vim-1.17.1/out/extension.js:9:230907) at Object.t.activate (/Users/lef/.vscode/extensions/vscodevim.vim-1.17.1/out/extension.js:9:235625) t.log @ console.ts:70

Expected behavior The plugin works and I can use VIM mode.

** Environment ** On MacOSX Catalina, VSCodeVIM 0.17.1, VSCode 1.49.2

I found the conflicting extension was lak132.indent-to-bracket v1.2.2 There's an existing issue on their repo: https://github.com/briankendall/vscode-indent-to-bracket/issues/4

Thank you so much!!! I was hitting my head on why vim is not working fine and finally I could resolve it! Yes, overtype was the culprit for me, and I am now back into the happy world of VIM!!! Wowwwwww....
