Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
due to how easymotions currently generates markers upto a certain point and then orders them by proximity, this causes a different marker generation when there are a lot of potential matches vs little, causing differing marker placement relative to the cursor.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to add a configuration setting like vim.easymotionMaxMarkers that hard caps the maximum amount of generated markers, this causes a consistent marker placement relative to the cursor whenever there are more than the aforementioned markers.
Alternatively
Make marker generation consistent -- altough this is redundant and almost always removes single letter markers

Research direction
Locate the Vim Easymotion marker-generation entry point and the existing VS Code configuration declarations. Start by tracing how potential matches are generated and ordered; done means a configuration option caps the generated marker count and preserves the requested placement behavior.
