Research direction

Start by tracing how the m key is handled in VSCodeVim and search the repository for the textmarker.toggleHighlight command. Check the VS Code command registration and invocation paths, then reproduce the error with VSCodeVim 1.23.2. Done means pressing m no longer reports the missing-command error.
