Vimr: Suggestion: Navigation with hjkl in the File Browser
The file browser is great for navigating the directory structure, and you can currently control it with the arrow keys. If you could use Vim-style navigation with the hjkl keys, that would be even better :)

I would like use the same shortcut as NerdTree plugin.

Using the arrow keys shouldn't be the default navigation style of anything vi related. The whole point of vi is muscle memory. hjkl navigation has to be implemented.

hey @FinallyFinancialFreedom I confused as well. I always collapse the Side bar.

Was implemented in #60 but seems to have regressed. I would like the best of both worlds.

I have same issue commented by @sfcgeorge. The file browser's shortcuts described in the Wiki doesn't work. I'm using VimR 0.20.3 (255).

The shortcuts described here also doesn't work. I want especially to use shortcuts for selecting the n-th tab (⌘-1 to ⌘-9).

VimR was written from scratch in Swift and to use neovim as its backend (from 0.9.0 on). The keyboard navigation for the file browser has yet to be implemented.
