Research direction
Start by reproducing the dvb sequence in normal mode using the VSCodeVim and VSCode versions listed in the issue. Investigate the normal-mode handling for delete, backward-word motion, and the b motion. Done means dvb deletes backward through the word while including the current character, rather than deleting only the character under the cursor before moving backward.
