The full list of keyboard shortcuts including the when clause (e.g. while debugging) can be found in the extension's contribution list.

Why don't all the keyboard shortcuts work?

VS Code does not implement all of the commands available in Visual Studio. If you would like to see a feature in VS Code that is in Visual Studio, please open an issue on GitHub.
