Research direction
Reproduce v<end> d in VSCodeVim using the reported insert and visual-mode scenarios, noting the VSCode and extension versions. Trace how the End key updates the cursor or selection before an action, and consider the issue done when deleting after v<end> removes the text through the line end as expected.
