Description

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. When I use my VIM shortcut defined as:
{
            "before": ["<leader>", "f", "s"],
            "commands": ["go.fill.struct"]
}

or run the command Go: Fill struct I get the error message below.

  1. I see the error:

Failed to handle key s: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'fileName')

Side note! It used to work. I haven't changed any keyboard shortcuts but I have updated VSCode and my installed extensions.

VSCodeVim version: 1.23.2

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the shown Vim mapping and the Go: Fill struct command, then inspect src/configuration/remapper.ts and src/mode/modeHandler.ts using the stack trace as the entry point. Compare the remapped command path with direct command execution and confirm that the command no longer produces the fileName error.
