Description

Please add support for the vim-wordmotion plugin. It allows for motion commands to be more granular.

I would like there to be an option for this plugin (VSCodeVim), that enables the same behaviour which the wordmotion plugin adds.

An alternative would be to just add an option to alter VSCodeVim's motion commands to work in the same way as they do in the wordmotion plugin.

Here is a link to the wordmotion plugin repository: https://github.com/chaoren/vim-wordmotion

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked vim-wordmotion repository and the VSCodeVim motion-command entry points; the issue names no source files or tests. Define the option's intended scope and verify that enabled motion commands match wordmotion behavior while existing behavior remains unchanged.
