Description

When enabled, using the standard keyboard shortcut for joining lines CTRL+J does nothing visually but does show the following error in the console:

Uncaught (in promise) RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded at _pn.execCommand (CodeMirrorControl.ts:51:18) at _pn.joinLines (:14:8) at _pn.execCommand (CodeMirror5Emulation.ts:510:38) at _pn.execCommand (CodeMirrorControl.ts:58:26) at _pn.joinLines (:14:8) at _pn.execCommand (CodeMirror5Emulation.ts:510:38) at _pn.execCommand (CodeMirrorControl.ts:58:26) at _pn.joinLines (:14:8) at _pn.execCommand (CodeMirror5Emulation.ts:510:38) at _pn.execCommand (CodeMirrorControl.ts:58:26)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the recursive call between execCommand and joinLines in CodeMirrorControl.ts and CodeMirror5Emulation.ts. Look for a missing base case or guard that prevents re entry.
