Description

Easymotion supports bi-directional movement within a line. I frequently use this when I work on the terminal. It would be nice to have this in vscode also.

Research direction

Start with the linked easymotion.txt section describing bd-wl to understand the expected bi-directional movement behavior, then locate the existing EasyMotion support in the VSCodeVim extension. Done means the bd-wl behavior works in VS Code with the appropriate keybinding and matches the referenced Vim behavior.
