Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

The old help menu used vim movements for up and down which was great. Now that the new help menu is a search box as well j/k is entered as plain text, this is great but a common convention in these scenarios is to have ctrl + j/k also act as down/up arrows. This is much better than having to move your whole hand to the arrow keys to move up and down while also being able to search things with j/k in them.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #3379: Specifically requests ctrl+j/ctrl+k for list navigation in combobox/list elements, which would include the commands menu

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.
