Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported Cmd+D behavior in VSCode 1.53.2 on macOS while in insert mode, using the documented sequence: press i, Cmd+D, then Esc. Trace the extension's insert-mode key handling and multi-cursor mapping; done means Cmd+D selects one word without leaving insert mode or entering the extension's special multi-cursor mode.
