Vim: Support for breadcrumbs

[ghost]

The 1.26 release introduced breadcrumbs. Would it be possible to add navigation support for this new feature?

For anyone who wasn't aware, you first need to enable breadcrumbs.enabled. I wasn't sure how to navigate them (without this plugin). On OS X, you can press Cmd+Shift+. to open the breadcrumbs for the current file. I found you can then press Option+Left to choose parent directory breadcrumbs.

If this plugin were to do anything, I'd think it would be using H/J/K/L to navigate the list, and maybe Shift+H and Shift+L to navigate breadcrumb items (folders). It would need to override find-as-you-type also, and maybe then allow find-as-you-type if you press F?

You can get pretty reasonable hotkeys if you don't mind using Cmd+Shift:

  {
    "key": "cmd+shift+h",
    "command": "breadcrumbs.focusPrevious",
    "when": "breadcrumbsActive && breadcrumbsVisible"
  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+shift+l",
    "command": "breadcrumbs.focusNext",
    "when": "breadcrumbsActive && breadcrumbsVisible"
  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+shift+j",
    "command": "list.focusDown",
    "when": "listFocus && !inputFocus"
  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+shift+k",
    "command": "list.focusUp",
    "when": "listFocus && !inputFocus"
  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+shift+.",
    "command": "breadcrumbs.focusAndSelect",
    "when": "breadcrumbsVisible"
  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+shift+;",
    "command": "breadcrumbs.focus",
    "when": "breadcrumbsVisible"
  },

• Press cmd+shift+. to make the breadcrumbs visible
• Press cmd+shift+h to select parent folder breadcrumbs
• Let go of cmd+shift and type some characters to find in the list
• Press enter to jump to that file/location

You can also use cmd+shift+; to select breadcrumbs without the dropdown immediately visible, which allows arrow key navigation of breadcrumbs at least without these mappings.
