Research direction
No source file or test is named in the issue. Reproduce command mode in VS Code 1.18.1 on macOS, then trace the extension's command-line mode key handling for Ctrl-[ and Esc. Done means Ctrl-[ exits command mode like Esc, with coverage for the behavior if the existing test structure supports it.
