Description

Describe the bug
Previously I could focus the Explorer (cmd+shift+e) and type / to open up a fuzzy search. From there I could enter letters for the file/folder I was looking for to see it highlighted.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Focus Explorer
  2. Press /
  3. Attempt to search for file/folder

Expected behavior
The expected behavior is to allow / to trigger searching within the Explorer

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.25.2
  • VSCode version: 1.77.3
  • OS: macOS 12.6.3

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the VSCode Explorer using cmd+shift+e, then press / and try searching for a file or folder. Trace the VSCodeVim handling for this Explorer interaction and compare it with the reported VSCode 1.77.3 and extension 1.25.2 behavior. Done means / again opens Explorer fuzzy search and typed names are highlighted.
