Research direction

Start by locating the EasyMotion activation and keybinding implementation in the VSCode Vim extension, then inspect how existing options are configured and tested. Confirm the default activation behavior and identify the relevant tests or entry points. Done means users can configure an alternative activation key, such as s, without breaking the default behavior.
