Research direction

Start by tracing PSReadLine's ViMode command handling for the existing yanking commands. Compare the requested y,t, y,T, y,f, and y,F behaviors with the current mappings, then identify the relevant tests or test area. Done means each mapping yanks the specified character range in its stated direction.
