Feature request: jump to word forward/backwards #210

Would it be possible to implement jumping akin to easymotion-w and easymotion-b in AceJump?

What it does is instead of waiting for me to type the prefix of a word it simply tags all words after the cursor(easymotion-w) or before the cursor(easymotion-b)

I use both phpstorm and vim and I got used to jumping around with those commands. I have tried to retrain to use AceJumps prefix jumps but I still can't shake it feeling 'sluggish' in comparison:
activate acejump -> type prefix -> wait a noticable moment to switch from prefix to tag selection -> type tag
compared to
activate easymotion-w or easymotion-b -> type tag

A more generalist approach to this could be to have an AceJump command with configurable predefined prefix and allow escape sequences for special meaning(e.g. \w for word jumping) but I rather like the directional component as it keeps the tags short even on a full screen.
