Description
Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one):
bug
What happened:
Before enabling plug-ins, Alt+← or Alt+→ only records jumps between functions. Moves the cursor inside a function without affecting the shortcut key jumps.
After the plug-in is enabled, cursor movements such as j/k are also recorded. Alt+← or Alt+→ shortcut keys do not jump directly back to the previous function. They just jump line by line.
How can I fix this problem, thank you
What did you expect to happen:
Alt+← or Alt+→ shortcut keys jump directly back to the previous function
How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Environment:
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version:0.11.2
- VSCode version:1.21.1
- OS version:Windows10 LTSB 10240

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Alt+← and Alt+→ behavior described for VSCodeVim 0.11.2 on the listed VS Code and Windows versions, comparing it before and after the extension is enabled. Verify whether j/k movements are recorded as jumps and whether function-to-function navigation is restored; the issue does not name a source file, test, or configuration to inspect.
