Multi key keyboard shortcuts

So, in vscode, there are many shortcuts of Ctrl + K V form. An example is shown below.

enter image description here

There here is no "+" between K and V, so I tried the following.

  1. Ctrl+K+V
  2. Ctrl+K, then (release K, press V)
  3. Ctrl+V, then (release V, press K`)

None of these worked. How do I activate the macro?

Look in the bottom left of Visual Studio Code when you press these key combinations. It will help you determine what key combinations are being pressed in the chord:

To open the markdown previewer to the side:

  1. Press Ctrl + K.
  2. Let go of both keys.
  3. Press V.

I suspect you are still holding the Ctrl key when pressing V, thus Visual Studio Code thinks the chord you are performing is Ctrl + K, Ctrl + V which is not a keyboard shortcut by default.
