Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure when handling key o with VSCodeVim 1.24.3, then trace the stack from src/actions/commands/actions.ts:1246 through src/mode/modeHandler.ts. Confirm which input state produces the negative line argument. Done means the key no longer raises the reported illegal-argument error.
