Only in 2013-14. From 1990-2010, they usually had the upper hand in the state legs, but never won governorship. They kept governorship since 2010, but GOP controlled each house for six years during the decade.

I am quite surprised to find out this, considering this state voted Dems in every elections from 1976.

Not terribly uncommon. Virginia Republicans only had about 4 years of a trifecta between when they finally flipped the legislature and when it started trending back to the Democrats, over pretty much the entire state's history. Constantly losing the governor's office in the 2000s let quite a lot of policy-making opportunities slip by.
That's quite understandable for a southern state. KY only have 3 year R trifecta in the state history. But for a northern D state, this is surprising.

If the presidency flips in 2024 they’ll probably finally get the trifecta in 2026.
They can't even do that in 2018. If 2026 is a DeSantis midterm, the blue wave is very likely smaller than 2018.
