I have my previous and forward set up the same way as in the browser which is super convenient and I could not do without it.

{
  "key": "cmd+[",
  "command": "workbench.action.navigateBack"
},
{
  "key": "cmd+]",
  "command": "workbench.action.navigateForward"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Isn't ctrl tab easier?
Or they are different stuff

The actions navigateBack and navigateForward are not about navigating between tabs, but within the code. I.e, if you open a file/function by Ctrl+clicking on it, you can "navigate back" :)
