Developers struggle to discover and compose editor commands
Code editor users want commands to be easier to find and invoke, and to combine into repeatable shortcuts. The requests range from descriptive toolbar buttons and command autocomplete to aliases and ordered command sequences. The evidence is from 2015–2018, so it’s important to check whether current editor versions still leave these gaps.
For code editor power users and editor switchers. Mentioned from Dec 2015 to May 2018 on GitHub.

I was looking for a way to bring up a terminal and hide the file explorer at the same time, since the integrated terminal doesn't occupy 100% width, and it seems vscode does'nt support multiple commands on a single keybindings yet. :(
When creating keyboard shortcuts, it would be nice if you could pass an array of commands (to execute like a macro) that would run the commands in that order
