In VS Code what's the difference between Quick Switch Window and Switch Window?

It seems like both commands do the same thing?

When you release the assigned key...

  • workbench.action.quickSwitchWindow switches to the selected window
  • workbench.action.switchWindow keeps the popup open until press enter

See also the version 1.14 announcement:

[...] a new command workbench.action.quickSwitchWindow was added to quickly switch between opened windows. Press and hold the modifier key to cycle through the list of windows and release all keys to open it.
