Findings:
+
+TODAY the vim layer (T-65) is editor-only. vim.normal/insert/visual scope flags are global (VimModeService), but every binding in vim.yaml either targets editor.vim.* (applied by the focused editor''s key handler, editor_view.dart _dispatchVim) or is a copy of the default preset''s app chords. Outside the editor, the vim preset offers nothing vim-shaped: no ctrl+w window family, no gt/gT, no j/k in the file tree / ticket list / git panel / conversation (those panes have NO key handling at all — mouse-only), no ex command line (vim_mode_service.dart explicitly defers it as "a transient overlay").
+
+EXISTING primitives to map onto: focus.nextPanel/previousPanel (F6/shift+F6), panel.focus.left/middle/right (ctrl+1/2/3), panel.focusMode (ctrl+. — semantically EXACTLY vim''s ctrl+w o "only"), editor.open/close (ctrl+e/ctrl+w), dock.toggle (ctrl+j), sidebar.collapse/context.collapse, quickOpen, alt+1..5 sidebar sections. The D-82 sequence matcher already resolves exact-vs-longer ambiguity with a pending-exact + timeout (sequence_matcher.dart _pendingExact), so chord-prefixed sequences like "ctrl+w h" are expressible in preset YAML today.
+
+GAP also found: no workspace tab next/prev cycling command exists for ANY preset (only direct alt+N for sidebar sections) — child ticket adds the commands, vim binds gt/gT to them.
+
+Children: T-404 (ctrl+w window-command family), T-405 (tab cycle commands + gt/gT), T-406 (normal-mode list/scroll nav intents for non-editor panes), T-407 (ex command-line overlay). 404/405 are YAML+small-command work; 406 is the structural one; 407 is the most visible.', NULL, '2026-06-12 03:21:06', '2026-06-12 03:21:06', '2026-06-12 03:21:06', NULL, 'bf4b66250410bce443e0114635bb2401', 2) ON CONFLICT(hash) DO NOTHING;

+2. vim.yaml binds them when "vim.normal && !editor.focused": j/k, ctrl+d/ctrl+u, "g g"/shift+g, l/h, [o, enter]. Needs an editor.focused scope flag if none exists — check what the editor publishes today; the editor''s own key handler consumes j/k first when focused, so the guard may even be unnecessary — verify dispatch order and document it.
+3. Panes opt in with Actions handlers:
+   - file tree (lib/builtin/files/src/file_tree_view.dart): selection cursor + j/k move, h/l collapse/expand-or-step-into, o/enter open (the NERDTree idiom)

Today the file tree, ticket board, git panel, and conversation view have no keyboard handling at all (mouse-only — verified 2026-06-12); under the vim preset, j/k outside the editor are dead keys.
+
+Mechanism (follow the ActivateIntent pattern from default.yaml — intents dispatched via Actions.maybeInvoke against the FOCUSED context, so only opted-in widgets respond and there''s no global-flag confusion):
+
+1. New typed intents in kernel/src/keymap/intents.dart: nav.down / nav.up / nav.pageDown / nav.pageUp / nav.top / nav.bottom / nav.expandOrRight / nav.collapseOrLeft / nav.activate (ids in builtinIntents).
+2. vim.yaml binds them when "vim.normal && !editor.focused": j/k, ctrl+d/ctrl+u, "g g"/shift+g, l/h, [o, enter]. Needs an editor.focused scope flag if none exists — check what the editor publishes today; the editor''s own key handler consumes j/k first when focused, so the guard may even be unnecessary — verify dispatch order and document it.
+3. Panes opt in with Actions handlers:
+   - file tree (lib/builtin/files/src/file_tree_view.dart): selection cursor + j/k move, h/l collapse/expand-or-step-into, o/enter open (the NERDTree idiom)
+   - conversation view (lib/builtin/claude/src/conversation_view.dart): j/k line scroll, ctrl+d/u half page, G jump-to-bottom AND re-arm follow-tail (_atBottom), gg top
+   - ticket board + git panel lists: selection cursor + activate
+4. default/vscode/jetbrains presets can bind the same intents to arrows/page keys later — the intents are preset-neutral; this ticket only wires vim.
+
+Scope guard: this is keyboard NAVIGATION only — no editing semantics outside the editor. Start with tree + conversation (highest value), lists can trail in a follow-up commit on the same ticket.
