FEATURE REQUEST:
In normal mode, I'd like to navigate panes with commands like Ctrl+w,w and Ctrl+w,Right. Currently, Ctrl+w, arrow works for navigating code editors, and I can use Ctrl+w,Left to go from the left most to the left-most "Explorer" pane, but once in the Explorer pane, Ctrl+w, arrow or Ctrl+w,w stops working.

Research direction
Reproduce the navigation sequence in VS Code with focus in the Explorer pane, then trace the existing normal-mode Ctrl+w handling for editor panes and arrow navigation. Done means Ctrl+w,w and Ctrl+w,Right move focus from the Explorer pane as they do between code editors, without breaking the existing pane navigation.
