Description
Currently you can search in VS Code start of word forwards or backwards but I wish I could make a general start of word search similar to searching for character.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing easymotion implementation and its forward and backward word-search behavior in the VS Code Vim extension. Clarify the desired keybindings and expected results for a general start-of-word search in both directions, then add coverage showing that both motions work consistently.
