Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.7.1033.0

Other Software

Microsoft Terminal 1.7.1033.0

Steps to reproduce

Enter the new settings GUI/pane after loading up a terminal full screen. F11 does not work when trying to exit nor does ESC.

Sample step:

  1. Open Powershell in Terminal.
  2. F11 to go full screen
  3. Ctrl+shift+p, then "Open settings..."
  4. Congratulations, you are now "locked" until you shift+tab to the other terminal. Ctrl+shift+p does not work in this settings pane either.

Expected Behavior

Being able to easily escape full screen mode using F11 or esc. The F11 also does not work to enter full screen from the settings pane.

Actual Behavior

You are locked and no common tricks (alt+f4, esc, ctrl+shift+p) helps. Only the shift+tab works to get rid of this. Probably a niche case but I thought it was the full screen Windows settings app since it has a similar UI and I launched it full screen. I was locked until I try to kill it form the taskbar and it said, "do you want to kill all tabs" which gave me the idea of "shift+tab".

Unrelated, is there a solid way to do screen record while capturing the inputs? I wanted to add a gif. I know that VSCode has a "Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode". Is there a feature like that in Windows overall? Where's the appropriate place to make a new issue for that feature?
