Research direction

Reproduce the cmd+d behavior in the VSCodeVim extension using the Vim regime and the versions listed in the report. The payload names no source files or tests, so first locate the command handling for adding and moving to the next find match. Done means the selection remains at and jumps to the next matching text instead of returning to the previous position.
