Description

Describe the bug
Easymotion dim color does not work with 1char mode (only works in search)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Ctrl+, to bring up settings and search for Vim easy motion dim color setting.
  2. Change easymotion dim color to something obvious like red
  3. Invoke 1char search (eg. f {some character})

Expected behavior
Expect the dim color to be the set color. Instead, dim color is the default grey dim color.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.26.1
  • VSCode version: 1.83.0
  • OS: Windows 11

Additional context
Changing dim color works in search mode (eg. /) but not in 1char mode.
