Research direction
Start in src/actions/plugins/easymotion/easymotion.cmd.ts, especially SearchByCharCommand.exec at the stack-trace location around line 82. Reproduce the reported key s failure in VSCodeVim 1.22.2, then trace the undefined value and verify that handling the key no longer throws the reported TypeError.
