Research direction

The issue names VSCodeVim and the mark commands m{a-zA-Z}, '{a-zA-Z}, and `{a-zA-Z}, but no source file or test. Start by locating the mark-handling entry points and checking how extension state is managed across VS Code restarts. Done means marks remain available after reopening VS Code and both navigation commands work without E20.
