Description

I noticed that there are many more commands available in keyboard shortcuts, than are documented in https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/commands

For example workbench.action.closeActiveEditor, workbench.action.openWalkthrough are available as commands but cannot be found on this reference page.

Feel free to close this one, if they happen to be documented elsewhere. Thanks!
