Description

I just tried to add the following mappings in order to change tabs with Ctrl+Alt+[j or k].

map <C-A-j> previousTab
map <C-A-k> nextTab

It doesn't seem to work. Anything I could do about it?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the two mappings in Vimium with Ctrl+Alt+j and Ctrl+Alt+k, then trace the keyboard mapping handling used by those commands. Done means both combinations reliably trigger previousTab and nextTab, with coverage for the supported modifier behavior.
