An extension I made a few years back to solve an annoyance I had with VS Code. While I still use it I haven't updated it since then. This was my first VS Code extension and was written in a couple of hours so expect rough code.

Event / Command Mapper

This extension allows commands to be bound to vscode events via settings.

Usage

Example: The following opens the debug view when starting a debugging session and toggles the sidebar visibility when the debug session is terminated

    "eventCommandMapper.eventMaps": [
        {"event":"vscode.debug.onDidTerminateDebugSession", "command":"workbench.action.toggleSidebarVisibility"},
        {"event":"vscode.debug.onDidStartDebugSession", "command":"workbench.view.debug"}
    ],

Once a new mapping has added you will need to reload VSCode which can be done via the reload window command

The easiest way to find vscode events is via VSCode API

The easiest way to find commands is by using the keyboard shortcuts UI within VSCode, if the command isn't shown under the keybinding then right click the keybind > copy command ID
