Description

I would love it if traversing Arabic is easier

if you have the following words and you would like to rap them with <ul> tag it is impossible using vim extension. سمين - نحيف

just try to do that using vim extension and compare it to the default vs code using the home and end keys. currently i have to turn off the extraction to add the tag.

please note i understand if the answer is NO!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Vim motions handle word boundaries and RTL text. Look for existing tests and modify the word motion algorithm to support Arabic text. Refer to Vim's own Arabic support for inspiration.
