Research direction

Reproduce the cursor-history behavior described with j/k and C-o using the reported VSCodeVim 1.9.0, VSCode 1.37.1, and macOS Mojave versions if available. Compare the current behavior with the approach in pull request #3028; done means repeated j/k moves no longer require one C-o per cursor move.
