Joplin 2.4.12 (prod, win32)
Windows 10
Is there a way to create a custom keyboard shortcut to toggle between Vim mode and default? Or is the only way to create your own codes/plugin?
Generally if there is a command palette option for it you can assign it in the keymaps file but it appears that keyboard mode isn't a command option so I don't think you can, no.
Why, there is no reason to toggle vim mode 
Ok, now seriously ..."insert vim mode" behaves like the standard mode in Joplin, you can do the copy n paste stuff etc. pp.
The only difference is
- you can enter "normal" mode
- and "command" mode
So I don't get the benefit of toggling (I'm using Linux, but this shouldn't make any difference).

@Daeraxa alright thanks for the advice
@theCollectiv recently I found out about the immediate cause why the default shortcut Ctrl+Shift+S/L (to "focus" on side bar and notes list) didn't work last time. If I hide the sidebar and the notes list by pressing F10 and F11, then un-hide it again with the same keys, the Ctrl+Shift+S/L is deactivated.
I thought it was because I used Vim and Vim has some key mapped to the aforementioned keys that I didn't know.
The shortcut keys for focusing to notes list and sidebar works again if I turned off the app and started it up again.
Do you think this is a bug? or an intended purpose?
I didnt use these shortcuts. I now tried them but didnt test too much; I couldnt reproduce your error. The only time when it was not working, was when "toggling the editor layout". In the "advanced/rich text" Editor layout, vimkeys not working and some of the shifting-focus-hotkeys eiter.
ctrl shift +s/n/b/l : Do what they supposed to do (in both modes vim/normal) in normal editor layout (split window with preview).
