Research direction

Reproduce the issue in VS Code with the vim extension active and workbench.list.keyboardNavigation set to filter or highlight. Compare tree navigation with and without the extension, then trace the relevant keybinding and navigation handling; done means both settings work in the tree while Vim remains active.
