Research direction

Start in src/actions/commands/actions.ts at execCount, then trace how key handling reaches modeHandler.ts and extensionBase.ts. Reproduce the o action if possible and determine why a negative line is passed; done means the action no longer raises this error and the behavior is verified against the reported stack trace.
