Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported mode behavior in the Visual Studio Code file explorer with VSCodeVim, focusing on character navigation and Escape. Clarify the expected way to switch from insert mode back to normal mode without moving focus to the editor. Done means the explorer supports the intended mode change and the behavior is verified in the relevant VSCodeVim interaction tests.
