Description of the new feature/enhancement

I would like to be able to create key bindings for terminal escape sequences. For example, I would like to bind ctrl+tab to \x1B[27;5;9~ and ctrl+shift+tab to \x1B[27;6;9~.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

You can already achieve this with a sendInput action (see PR #7249). For example, try adding the following comands in the actions section of you settings.json file:

{ "command": { "action": "sendInput", "input": "\u001b[27;5;9~" }, "keys": "ctrl+tab" },
{ "command": { "action": "sendInput", "input": "\u001b[27;6;9~" }, "keys": "ctrl+shift+tab" }

No worries. I also originally thought it wasn't documented, but I see now there are actually some docs here:
