Research direction

The issue does not name any repository files or tests. Start by locating PSReadLine's existing cursor movement command implementations and compare their behavior with VSCode's cursorWordPartRight and cursorWordPartLeft commands; done means movement to the nearest capital letter on either side of the current word position, with coverage for the new behavior.

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Hello!

Will be great if PSReadline will get the cursor moving patterns similar to VSCode commands cursorWordPartRight and cursorWordPartLeft. They put the cursor into the position before the nearest capital letter to the right or left of its current position in the word.
