Description
Wanted to create a mapping for selecting the recently pasted text ( akin to gv ) by following this guide on the vim wiki: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Selecting_your_pasted_text
When attempting to just hit the combination `[ the above error is thrown. Similar error when attempting `]. Just a heads up since being able to readily select a pasted block can be very handy.

Start by reproducing the error in the VSCodeVim extension with [ and ] after pasting text, then trace the ModeHandler error from the reported TypeError. Done means both key sequences stop throwing and select the recently pasted text as described by the linked Vim wiki guide.
