Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
hjkl keys as arrow keys in intellisense contextual menu do not work.

I would like to have an option to configure VSCodeVim to use hjkl for that so I won't need to to reach the arrow keys and leave the Home Row.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would love to enable hjkl keys as arrow keys in intellisense contextual menu when VSCodeVim is installed and enabled.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the VSCodeVim handling for IntelliSense contextual-menu keybindings and determine how configurable mappings are registered; done means hjkl can navigate that menu when the option is enabled without changing default behavior.
