Research direction

Start with src/actions/commands/actions.ts around the getSearchRanges and exec locations in the stack trace, then follow the call from src/actions/commands/insert.ts. Reproduce the failure in VSCodeVim 1.20.0 and trace the mode handling that reaches IncrementDecrementNumberAction.getPositions(). Done means the key no longer raises the reported unexpected-mode error.
