Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue from the provided settings.json vim.visualModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive binding and pressing gd in VS Code. Trace how the editor.action.peekDefinition command becomes Edit.PeekDefinition; done means the binding invokes peek definition without the command-not-found error.
