Similar to listAutomaticKeyboardNavigation contextkey, but as a setting.
Another reason it would be great to have such option is that Vim navigation is currently broken with this feature.
VIM navigation is independent of this. It works on startup, but stops working as you switch viewlets around. More info on https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues/3466#issuecomment-465481730. Fixed by https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/commit/5e54b2574b0703aa9437363294f8fd2db63f3e10.
Verification:
workbench.list.automaticKeyboardNavigation to falselist.toggleKeyboardNavigation command andOnce you press it, there's no UI feedback, but you can start typing to highlight/filter a tree. Once you Escape or clear the highlight/filter, you have to use the keybinding once more to highlight/filter once more.
When will this feature land?
