Research direction
No file or test is named. Reproduce the difference between "s and v"s in Visual Studio Code, then search the TypeScript extension for showcmd, register handling, and status-bar updates. Done means the register appears in the status bar in visual mode as it does outside visual mode, with regression coverage if the project has relevant tests.
