Description
Describe the bug
When editor is focused Ctrl-w Ctrl-h can be used to focus the sidebar, but Ctrl-w Ctrl-j cannot be used to focus the Panel. In order to focus the Panel it's required to unhold the Ctrl before pressing j
To Reproduce
- Display both the Sidebar and Panel
- Focus the Text editor
- Press
Ctrl-wCtrl-j
Expected behavior
In usual Vim it's not required to unhold Ctrl after pressing Ctrl-w before navigating to the appropriate buffer. So the behavior seems to be natural.
Screenshots
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.21.10
- VSCode version: 1.62.2
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the sequence in VSCode with both the Sidebar and Panel visible, using the reported VSCodeVim and VSCode versions, then trace the handling of Ctrl-w Ctrl-h versus Ctrl-w Ctrl-j. Done means Ctrl-w Ctrl-j focuses the Panel while Ctrl remains held, consistently with the expected Vim behavior.
