Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.9.1942.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Set "win+enter" as keycode for the globalSummon action in the config and press the buttons. This is the exact line I have in settings.json:

{ "command": { "action": "globalSummon", "toggleVisibility": true }, "keys": "win+enter"}, 

Expected Behavior

globalSummon works like it does with other key combinations.

Actual Behavior

Nothing happens. From what I understood, you cannot bind globalSummon to key combinations that are already used by Windows default shortcuts, but I could not find any action bound to that combination, neither by testing nor by searching online.

Thanks for the report! I'm afraid that Win+Enter might be one of those keystrokes that's reserved by the system for some reason. I'm not sure why, but we never get that keystroke. There are more details in #4760.

If we ever get to the root cause of that issue, we'll probably follow up in that thread. Thanks!
