How do I add a keyboard shortcut to activate/disable a VSCode extension?

Question

I want to be able to turn certain extensions on and off with a keyboard shortcut. But didn't found out how to do keybindings for extension activation

Specifically I wanna do this for VSCodeVim. So that I can use it more often and become more used to using Vi

I have the same problem as Aayush. The extension is installed, but I can't find that command. – Borjovsky Sep 14 '22 at 17:46
in your `keybindings.json` file, add this with the shortcut of your choice after key `{"key": "ctrl+shift+v", "command": "toggleVim"}`, and this will activate or deactivate the extension on the fly – Vincent Lagache Jul 16 '23 at 11:16
