Research direction
Reproduce the failure in VSCodeVim 1.18.9 by using Ctrl+Shift+L, then inspect the stack trace entry in out/extension.js around n.exec and the key-handling calls. Trace the undefined value behind split and verify that the shortcut completes without an error; the payload does not identify a source test file.
