Enable Bold Markdown Shortcut in VSCode

Press Cmd+Shift+P to open the command palette and type Open Keyboard Shortcut to open the keybindings file. Add the following code to the file:

    {
        "key": "cmd+b",
        "scope": "markdown",
        "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
        "when": "editorTextFocus && editorLangId == 'markdown'",
        "args": {
            "snippet": "**$TM_SELECTED_TEXT**$0"
        }
    },

Press Cmd+B to bold the selected text.

Thanks! For Linux I got this to work by changing the key to ctrl+b which should also work for windows.
