Description
Problem
Many key bindings documented in the README.md are not actually present on a fresh install on Linux.
I've listed just the ones interesting for me personally below. The ones marked missing are neither actually working nor shown in the VSCode Feature Contributions listing. It is confusing to have them prominently documented - the top ones are the first thing visible just after installing this plugin.

Research direction
Start with the key-binding table in README.md and compare each entry marked “missing” with the VSCode Feature Contributions listing on a fresh Linux install. Trace how the extension exposes those commands and verify the documented bindings are registered and usable; done means the missing entries work or are corrected in the README.
