FEATURE REQUEST (choose one):
Environment:
- VSCode Version: 1.12.2
- VsCodeVim Version: .7.1
- OS: MacOS
Request:
I would REALLY like to map my s key to search forward AND backwards. I should be able to jump to any word and LINE BREAKS (please start including \n like normal EasyMotion does) with two-three characters.
I am currently using easymotion with VIM and this is a huge deal for me and a lot of people I know.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing EasyMotion implementation and the key-mapping entry point for s in VSCodeVim. Check how forward and backward searches currently work, including whether line breaks are considered. Done means s can search in both directions and jump to any surrounding word or line break using two or three characters.
