Description
I'm using vscode 1.19.0 on Mac OS X. I've added the "macros" key and "commentDown" example macro to my user `settings.json` file:

I've also added example shortcut to my `keybindings.json`

But when I press `cmd+ctrl+/` vscode complains with `command 'macros.commentDown' not found`:

Have I configured something incorrectly? I'm expecting it to comment the line, not show the above error.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in VS Code 1.19.0 on macOS using the reported macros settings, the commentDown example, and the keybinding for cmd+ctrl+/. Check whether the macros.commentDown command is registered and whether the shortcut reaches it; done means the command is recognized and comments the current line instead of showing the error.
