Description
Describe the bug
Adding binding ctrl+w ctrl+j to swtich between text editor and visible panel makes vscodevim not working.
To Reproduce
-
Open 2 text editor panels
-
Set your keybindings.json file to be
[
{
"key": "ctrl+w ctrl+j",
"command": "workbench.action.focusPanel",
"when": "editorFocus && panelVisible"
}
]
- Try to switch from the left text editor to the right text editor and see the error
The key combination (CTRL+W, L) is not a command
Expected behavior
Adding such a keybinding should not affect vim way of switching between text editors.
Note that removing this binding makes vscodevim work as expected.
Screenshots
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.22.2
- VSCode version: 1.67.2
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04

Research direction
Reproduce the conflict using the keybindings.json entry shown, with VSCodeVim 1.22.2 on the reported VS Code and Ubuntu versions, then compare behavior after removing that binding. Trace how the Ctrl+W sequence is handled by the extension and VS Code keybindings; done means the custom binding still focuses the panel without changing VSCodeVim editor-switching behavior.
