If you actually press alt+shift+[, does it work?

It doesnt. It just types those characters or does weird stuff like w.e alt+shift+[ does

Huh. This might be a documentation miss.

It looks like this is what I got out of the settings editor:

(prevTab instead of previousTab)

Does switching to prevTab work for you? You don't need to do the command/action nonsense, you can just use "command": "prevTab"

where did you find that previous tab was actually prevTab? Is there online documentation on this?

also prevTab works, thank you :)

I'm glad it worked! This is mentioned in a couple places:

  1. the settings schema document, so VS Code will offer it as an example:
  2. The documentation, in the Actions section, heading Open Previous tab
  3. The Settings UI, sort-of. That's how I actually got the entry I showed you. Version 1.10 (preview) and 1.11 (preview) let you do this:

Unfortunately, that feature isn't available in Stable yet.
