Description
Describe the bug
Plugins (easymotion, surround, etc) seem to be not enabled in the web version.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open a web version of vscode, such as vscode.dev
- Install the Vim extension
- Enable a plugin such as easymotion or surround
- Try to use it
Expected behavior
It should work.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.21.10
- VSCode version: 1.62.0
- OS: Windows 11, using Edge browser
Additional context
Upon inspecting extensionWeb.ts, it seems that it only contains the import statement
import './src/actions/include-main';
whereas extension.ts contains
import './src/actions/include-main';
import './src/actions/include-plugins';
which seems to be causing this.
Is there any reason for plugins to be disabled in the web version?

Research direction
Compare extensionWeb.ts with extension.ts, focusing on their imported action modules. Start by checking how the web extension is assembled and whether include-plugins is intentionally omitted. Verify the result by installing the extension in vscode.dev and testing an enabled plugin such as easymotion or surround.
