I noticed there are many packages downloaded with this, eg

https://registry.npmjs.org/https-proxy-agent/-/https-proxy-agent-5.0.0.tgz

If I install this is there any communication from the PC its installed on ? Is it collected/sending any of my private data ?

Thanks

@marcusobrien The only network connection this extension makes is to its own marketplace listing, if the user chooses to visit:

answer.then((selectedOption) => {
if (selectedOption === this.messages.yes) {
this.updateSetting.persist();
updateSettings(this.editorConfig, versionThreeSettings);
showInformationMessage(this.messages.change);
} else if (selectedOption === this.messages.no) {
this.updateSetting.persist();
showInformationMessage(this.messages.noChange);
} else if (selectedOption === this.messages.learnMore) {
vscode.commands.executeCommand('vscode.open', vscode.Uri.parse('https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.atom-keybindings'));
}

(There's a URL way on the end of line 77; I hate that GitHub doesn't wrap lines in code snippets.)

...That being said, VS Code is definitely collecting personal information even WITHOUT this extension. You pretty much agree to that when you install it. It's not this keymap extension that's going to make any difference on that front.
