Description

Describe the bug
[leader, leader, leader, bdw] is supposed to result in a bi-directional word search (upward, and downward). It currently does not.

To Reproduce
Attempt to use [leader, leader, leader, bdw], and expect to see a bidirectional word search. Note, it does not work.

Expected behavior
A bi-directional word search.

Environment (please complete the following information):

latest VSC. Latest Vim VSCode, Mac OS 12.4

Additional context
I tried mapping [leader, leader, leader, bdw] to [leader, w] , but that also does not work (so it's not a case of my key repeat not being fast enough, etc).

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the latest VS Code with the Vim extension on macOS, using [leader, leader, leader, bdw] and the attempted [leader, w] mapping. No source file or test is named in the report, so first locate the word-search and key-mapping entry points. Done means the mapping performs a bidirectional search upward and downward.
