Moving focus from Project pane closes current tab when using keyboard

[jdswift]

Details: When navigating multiple windows via the keyboard in regular Vim one can move using ctl+w h (to move to left window) and ctl+w l (to move to right right window). However, if I move into the Project navigation pane and try to move back the currently open tab closes, likely because Atom's default close is ctl+w.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a file and press ctl+w v to split the window vertically.
2. Observe one can switch between panes by pressing ctl+w l or ctl+w h without issues.
3. When in the left pane press ctl+w h to move into the project pane.
4. Instead of selecting a file to open attempt to move back to edit the current file by pressing ctl+l. Observe the current tab closes instead.

Expected result:
If pressing ctl+w l in the Project pane the curser moves back into the pane next to the project pane.

Note: Sorry, I'm a veteran of vim but new to Atom so I don't know how to enter commands in Atom with atom-vim-mode-plus installed.
