Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

Version: 1.9.1942.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Try to disable quake mode. This was my attempt, adding the following to the json file:

        //disable the quake mode.
        { "command": null, "keys": "win +` " }

Expected Behavior

No more quake keyboard shortcut released.

Actual Behavior

Quake mode still works.
I thought it was cool but now it's a hindrance and I want it gone asap.

I really loved the idea and in fact, it was something I always wanted to build myself, however, I already solved this with an AHK script and I like my implementation a lot more than yours.

PS - PLease never do have something like this on by default again. It really messed with me for days until I realized it was the windows terminal that had suddenly stolen this key away from me.
