Description
Describe the bug
If you go to the command edit box that opens at the top of VS Code, ctrl+j/k don't work to navigate options. They work in autocompletion box.
The command edit box is opened when you go to symbol (ctrl+shift+o), look for file (ctrl+p) and run command (ctrl+shift+p).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open file with methods eg JavaScript file.
- Press ctrl+shift+o to go to command box at top to view symbols
- As you start typing, the list of symbols appears.
- Press ctrl+j or ctrl+k to navigate up and down list. Nothing happens.
By default ctrl+j toggles a pane. I disabled this mapping.
Expected behavior
I expect the highlighted symbol (or file or command) to change. When I press Enter I expect the highlighted symbol to be selected.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension Name:
vim - Extension Version:
0.17.0 - OS Version:
Windows_NT x64 10.0.17763 - VSCode version:
1.30.0

Research direction
Reproduce the issue from the listed VS Code shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+O, Ctrl+P, and Ctrl+Shift+P, then inspect how the command edit box handles Ctrl+J and Ctrl+K compared with the autocompletion box. Done means these keys move the highlighted symbol, file, or command and Enter selects it.
