Description

The easymotion plugin supports highlighting characters, unlike vim-sneak. It'd be helpful to see the next spot one would jump to!

Additionally, label mode is not implemented. However, the argument could be made that we could just use vim-easymotion for the same functionality.

How could we go about adding highlighting functionality now that vscode supports it? (again, like seen in easymotion)
