Research direction
Start by reproducing the keybinding in VS Code 1.59.0 with the Explorer or another Side Bar view focused, then inspect the TypeScript key handling for Ctrl+W followed by L. Done means Ctrl+W L activates the currently displayed editor and leaves it ready for input without the conflicting default bindings.
