Weird. Could you share your whole settings.json? There might be something we missed in there.

You might also try reproing this with the Debug Tap and sending us a screenshot. That would help see if the key is getting sent.

Please try a newer version of Windows Terminal. With version 1.10.2383.0 the ctrl+q is still unbound but looking at the command palette this key combination has no assignment. It does for other contexts. Enter ctrl+shift+p to toggle command palette. There are more unbound key combinations, i.e. alt+q:

PS C:\Users\Tux>
Ctrl+q: Key is unbound

ctrl+c working as expected:
PS C:\Users\Tux>
Ctrl+c: CopyOrCancelLine - Either copy selected text to the clipboard, or if no text is selected, cancel editing the line with CancelLine.

PS C:\Users\Tux>
Alt+q: Key is unbound

  • ␛[17;29;0;1;8;1_
    • Vkey=17=VK_CONTROL
    • KeyDown=1= key down
    • dwControlKeyState=8=LEFT_CTRL_PRESSED
  • ␛[17;29;0;1;8;1_
    • same as above. Weird.
  • ␛[67;46;3;1;8;1_
    • Vkey=67=0x43=C key
      • WHAT?? That doesn't make any sense
    • KeyDown=1= key down
    • dwControlKeyState=8=LEFT_CTRL_PRESSED
  • ␛[67;46;3;0;8;1_
    • same as above but key up

So the terminal definitely thinks that's a ctrl+c. What keyboard layout are you using?

i finally realize that ctrl q is recognized as a shortcut to some application, e.g. QTranslate in my case, and ctrl c is produced by that application.
