VSCode `down` key not detected

Question

I'm trying to switch between opened integrated terminals with the following:

  {
    "key": "ctrl+up",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.focusPrevious",
    "when": "terminalFocus"
  },
  {
    "key": "ctrl+down",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.focusNext",
    "when": "terminalFocus"
  },

The ctrl+up works as expected but VSCode does not respond to ctrl+down.

I looked at the keyboard trouble shooting but can't find any actionable info there
