I am using Windows Terminal Version 1.2.2381.0 on Windows 10 1909 (18363.1016) and when ever I press CTRL+SHIFT+2 thru 9 on a remote desktop session, it does not launch the new tab. I can manually launch the new tab using Mouse. This seems to be specific to remote desktop session only. It works fine when not using Remote Desktop. Please suggest a fix or workaround.

I'm not having any trouble doing this over remote desktop. What keyboard layout are you using on the client and server?

Not sure what keyboard Layout I am using. It is english keyboard. Again on
my local machine using the same keyboard it works fine. On remote machine,
Pressing ctrl+shift+1 or 2 and nothing happens. I can launch them using
mouse.

@ket000 Do other Ctrl+Shift key chords work via remote desktop, or is it just Ctrl+Shift+1 and Ctrl+Shift+2 that don't work?

Do Ctrl+Shift+1 and Ctrl+Shift+2 work in other applications via remote desktop? Usually browsers will use Ctrl+Shift+num as a shortcut for "go to tab num"

Sorry for not responding earlier. I tested again today using Remote Desktop and CTRL+SHIFT+2 is working now. Version of Temrinal is : 1.2.2381.0. I have uninstalled an app clipclip which may be conflicting with the keyboard shortcut. Thanks for looking into it.
