Description

Hi I use colemak and use hjkl with map k scrollDown & map j scrollUp (j & k switched)

However when the omnibar is active; holding Ctrl allows you to navigate the searched results with j & k ; but these are now inverse with my custom keybinds.

There's no <C-j> or <C-k> in the help dialogue; so I assume this is a missing feature?

Research direction

Start at the omnibar's result-navigation handling and the Available Commands/Help dialogue mentioned in the issue. Verify how Ctrl-j and Ctrl-k are currently handled, then make the requested commands remappable or document them in the dialogue; done means custom j/k mappings no longer invert omnibar navigation unexpectedly.
