I have these vscode shortcuts to move between splits ( ctrl + l ) to move to right right split & ( ctrl + h ) to move to the left split, however I am unable to move to the sidebar and I can only move to splits. ( it works on vscode fine )

Got the same problem, the action is workbench.action.navigateLeft and similar ones.

Same problem here. I just want to use keybinding to navigate among panels but I always get this error message.

[
  {
    "key": "ctrl+j",
    "command": "workbench.action.navigateDown"
  },
  {
    "key": "ctrl+k",
    "command": "workbench.action.navigateUp"
  },
  {
    "key": "ctrl+h",
    "command": "workbench.action.navigateLeft"
  },
  {
    "key": "ctrl+l",
    "command": "workbench.action.navigateRight"
  }
]
