Research direction

Start by reproducing Ctrl+Backspace in the Search/Command entry and read the linked historical issue #4538 for context. Trace the relevant VS Code Vim keybinding or command-handling entry point, then confirm the behavior no longer deletes the document and add or update regression coverage if the existing tests identify a suitable location.
