Using SVN master as of today, modifying the inbuilt shortcuts to use left or right produces a syntax error:

            {
                "command" : "prevTab",
                "keys" : 
                [
                    "ctrl+shift+left"
                ]
            },

As the other arrow keys are referred to as up and down I presume left and right should work too.

Alas! We might have missed that when we switched from git to subversion. I'll tag this one for 0.3 😉

@mikemaccana I'm gonna psychic debug and guess that you're trying to add the left keybinding while the terminal is open, right?

Something seems to have regressed hot-reloading the settings file, really badly in the last couple days. We're investigating in #1325

@zadjii-msft Please stop reading my mind, I have a lot of private thoughts I'd like to keep that way. 😁 Yep that's correct, terminal open.

Yep, that's the one. I'll close this as #1325 is the real problem here
