Description
Feature Request
Unless I missed something, it does not seem like this is in the current Roadmap.
Would it be possible to jump to the tree (explorer) with a simple command?
Most users would use Ctrl + E on Mac to show Nerd Tree and then hit Tab in Normal Mode to jump between the explorer and the file.
Is this possible and if not could this be implemented? I could see that VIM is already working in the Explorer.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how the extension handles Normal Mode keybindings and how VS Code exposes the Explorer tree. Confirm the desired behavior from the Ctrl+E and Tab workflow described here; done means a simple command moves focus to the Explorer and works alongside existing Explorer behavior.
