Research direction

Reproduce the failure by selecting a word with Ctrl+D and then performing an f search in VSCodeVim 1.22.2. Start with src/actions/commands/commandLine.ts and trace the stack through src/actions/base.ts and src/mode/modeHandler.ts; done means the same sequence no longer reports that commandLine is unexpectedly undefined.
