Vertex AI workbench managed jupyterlab vim settings not working

The Vertex AI jupyterlab provides an option  (under "Settings/Text Editor Key Map") to set the key mapping to vim, however setting this has no effect. I am using managed notebook from Vetex AI workbench. If there is no solution to this, is there a workaround to have local jupyterlab sync with Vertex AI managed jupyter lab(similar to the port forwarding solution is available from https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/workbench/user-managed/ssh-access for user managed notebook).  I prefer to use vim editor in managed Vertex AI jupyterlab notebooks. 

Installing jupyterlab vim extension is not an option for  Vertex Workbench managed notebooks unlike Vertex user manged notebooks (due to security reasons I assume). 

Hope to get a concrete practical solution. Thanks
