Navigation of Interactive Window with VIM keybindings

Feature: Notebook Editor, Interactive Window, Python Editor cells

Description

What is an easy way to navigate the Interactive Window? I tried to look for information on this, but could not find any, not sure if such functionality already exists.

My typical work flow would be writing some code in the editor, and do "run selection" to invoke the Interactive Window. Sometimes when the output is too long, or when I need to go back to previous cells, I have to switch to the mouse or the arrow keys. Is there a way to achieve these using the VIM keybindings?

(The jupyter notebook allows to choose a certain keybinding, though sometimes it is also hard to use, but better than nothing I guess.)

Sorry but the interactive window does not currently support VIM key bindings. Navigation is either with the arrow keys directly (if it has focus) or using your mouse.

@huyiqun although not perfect. one way to get around this is to convert it to a py script, which you can kind of run it like a Jupyter notebook, https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support-py. The command is Python: Convert to Python Script. Your extensions should work. Cheers
