Description
Implement hotkeys such as https://gist.github.com/m3nd3s/3959966. Should also include for example 2j for 2 down and 2<enter> to open file in 2nd window.
Preferably support all nerdtree features. But minimally support number prefixed hjkl, number prefixed opening of files in existing windows and opening new windows.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the VSCodeVim project-explorer keybinding entry points and the linked NERDTree hotkey gist; no specific files or tests are named in the issue. Done means supporting the minimally requested count-prefixed hjkl movement and count-prefixed file opening in existing or new windows, with broader NERDTree behavior treated as separate scope.
