Describe the feature

I would like my files open in insert mode by default, rather than normal mode.

  "vim": {
    "default_mode": "insert"
  },

For my specific use case, I suppose this feature is equivalent to one where I can use a keybinding to toggle the boolean "vim_mode" setting. However, I imagine folks may want to set any valid vim mode as their default. The default should continue to be normal mode.

For comparison, VS Code has at least one vim extension that supports this option:

"vim.startInInsertMode": true

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature
