I think skipDestructiveCodeActions was vaguely named due to aspirations of being used in more than one place, but it didn’t end up that way. FWIW, VS never picked this argument up, so it’s likely only VS Code that uses it.

While the PR focuses on the RemoveUnused... I'm more excited about SortAndCombine :P I see that skipDestructiveCodeActions was a thing (didn't know about it), gonna give it a try in my projects for now

Yeah, to be clear, SortAndCombine ought to be identical to setting skipDestructiveCodeActions which is already set in a VS Code code action called sortImports. (It’s not very discoverable because I learned recently that these code actions lack autocomplete support in the VS Code settings.json files.)

Ye, I got the fact that this one isn't a new option - but I had no idea that it was already a thing. So I'm glad that I've discovered that old option through this PR :P

I can't figure out how to actually use this old option in VS Code. I've found this in the source code:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/3a8b1fe03ebbcf57fb9c50b161db91229e2fe04a/extensions/typescript-language-features/src/languageFeatures/organizeImports.ts#L50

I've tried a lot of combinations with _typescript.*, typescript.*, source.* and *.organizeImports.sortOnly: true but none of those work for me.

I believe Organize Imports is a VS Code standard command, and so automatically appears in the command palette when registered. These variations are registered so can be triggered by ID in configurations like codeActionsOnSave, but I think we would need to add them to the contributes of the extension package.json to show up in the command palette. Matt Bierner (@mjbvz) is that correct?
