Description

I was considering finally switching to the default VS Code keybindings, but when I uninstalled the extension, I could no longer select a line with "Cmd+L". I checked my keybindings, and it is there, and I even changed the binding. Once I reinstalled the extension, I could once again use the expandLineSelection command.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by uninstalling the extension, checking the default VS Code Cmd+L binding, and reinstalling it to compare behavior. Inspect how this extension contributes keybindings and determine why expandLineSelection remains unavailable after removal. Done means the default or user-changed binding works without the extension.
