gw labels the words in view and jumps to the one whose label is typed

helix goto_word: the words of two or more word characters between the
view's first and last lines get two-letter labels, nearest the cursor first,
one forward and one back in turn (modal.jumpWords). The next two keys choose
one and select it, stretching the selection to it in select mode; any other
key takes the labels away. The words live on Pane.jump, and renderBody paints
their labels over the body's cells in the selection colours, the one change
on the render side.
