Description

Describe the bug
When opening parameter hints I expect to be able to cycle the suggestion by using key arrow keys - which doesn't seem to work. Instead cursor is moved to next or previous line.

To Reproduce
Toggle parameter hints, press arrow up or down.

Expected behavior
Next/Previous hint is shown.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.8.0
  • VSCode version: Version 1.33.1 (1.33.1)
  • OS: Mac OS Mojave

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by toggling parameter hints and pressing the up and down arrow keys in the VSCodeVim extension. Locate the parameter-hint handling and keyboard mapping entry points, then verify that the arrows cycle through hints without moving the cursor to another line.
