Originally created by @Christilut on GitHub (Mar 27, 2021).

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.6.10571.0

Other Software

Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

GNU bash, version 4.4.20(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

Steps to reproduce

I use tabs in Windows Terminal by using CTRL+number (eg CTRL+3 goes to tab 3).
When there is a running command in bash (eg sleep 10 for demo purposes) and I switch to a tab that does not exist (eg CTRL+4 when there are 3 open tabs), the process is exited with a SIGQUIT signal.

Expected Behavior

Nothing should happen when pressing the hotkey to go to a tab that does not exist

Actual Behavior

chris@pc:~/workspace$ sleep 10
^\Quit

Process is terminated when pressing CTRL+4

@DHowett commented on GitHub (Mar 29, 2021):

So, this is an interesting case! We implemented this on purpose for a bunch of different key bindings. When they don't act, they pass the input through. The one we really, really wanted to get right for Windows users was Ctrl+C. Copy if there's a selection (and they've bound it to copy), send a literal ETX if not.

We can probably adjust the "switch to tab" key bindings to mark the binding as handled even if there's no tab at that index with relative ease.

Thanks!
