switch to split screen in IntelliJ (ideaVim)

In Vim I can CTRL+W+H to switch to the split screen, how could one achieve the same in IntelliJ?

Example:

I press :vsplit it opens up a split-screen, now I'd like to switch between those screens.

I found this changelog but the option I'm looking for is not yet implemented.

Someone with another solution for this?

update:

I bruteforced some key combinations and it does change the screen when I press: CTRL+W+L CTRL+W+L

So far only way I could get this to work was to add this to my .ideavimrc:

    sethandler <c-h> a:vim
    sethandler <c-l> a:vim
    sethandler <c-j> a:vim
    sethandler <c-k> a:vim
    nnoremap <c-h> <c-w>h
    nnoremap <c-l> <c-w>l
    nnoremap <c-j> <c-w>j
    nnoremap <c-k> <c-w>k

This is for IdeaVim version 1.11.1 on Windows 10

You can use Ctrl-W + h/j/k/l to navigate splits as in the original Vim. Ctrl-Wh should work. If it doesn't for you, check File | Settings | Vim Emulation and your ~/.ideavimrc config for some keyboard shortcut clashes.

There is one known issue when one split has a row of open tabs that is higher than the row of another split, then you cannot switch to it due to the miscalculation in the window coordinates.
