Description

Atom Vim mode plus has these amazing commands that I've grown to rely on and am desperate for in Code having recently switched off of Atom.

The motions are move-down-to-edge/move-up-to-edge:

move-up-down-to-edge

I was wondering if something like this is already possible with this extension as-is, and if not, what would it take to implement it? I miss this feature every day and might be willing to help out!
