This is already implemented, could you please check if you see the issue on https://raw.githack.com/replit/codemirror-vim/master/dev/web-demo.html? Maybe there is a bug for specific text, or a browser, so more detailed reproduction steps would be greatly appreciated.

Keys pressed:

<Return><Return>f<Space>f<Space>f<Space>F<Space>F<Space>F<Space>

I expected to go down two lines (✅) skip forward three instances of (✅) skip backwards two instances of (❌, only two here because there wouldn't be a third, the cursor would end at the first in the line)

Browser: Version 1.62.153 Chromium: 121.0.6167.85 (Official Build) (arm64)
OS: macOS Sonoma, 14.2.1 (23C71)

Also tested on Safari, unexpected behavior there as well.

I have added input event logging to the demo here https://raw.githack.com/replit/codemirror-vim/input-log/dev/web-demo.html could you please try running the same input on that page and show what is printed to the log section.

Here's what i get with same settings as you

🤯 I realized, the issue is CM thinks that <Shift><Space> is different than <Space>, but vim does not. My muscle memory has been to just keep shift down, only when looking at your character log, <Space> in yours vs <S-Space> in mine:

Sorry for not realizing the actual issue here earlier, I'm glad it's not something more esoteric!
