Description

When typing bdw
the command is interpreted as jump to all words before, and then choose d.
It should be that it just highlights all the word beginnings.

This works:

    "vim.normalModeKeyBindings": [
        {
            "before": ["f"],
            "after": ["<leader>", "<leader>", "<leader>", "j"]
           
        }
    ]

However this does not:

    "vim.normalModeKeyBindings": [
        {
            "before": ["f"],
            "after": ["<leader>", "<leader>", "<leader>", "b","d","w"]
           
        }
    ]

I also tried with the bdw in one box, but that doesn't work either

    "vim.normalModeKeyBindings": [
        {
            "before": ["f"],
            "after": ["<leader>", "<leader>", "<leader>", "bdw"]
           
        }
    ]

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the issue with the shown vim.normalModeKeyBindings configurations, comparing the working j mapping with the bdw mapping. Trace how multi-key after sequences and are interpreted; done means the bdw mapping highlights all word beginnings as described.
