I've read these instructions for enabling the debug tap.

Enable debug features by adding "debugFeatures": true, to the global settings
Hold both the left and right alt keys, and open a new tab. What you should see is a tab with two panes in it, and the second one will have the "debug tap", showing all the input and output sent to the Terminal.

Two questions:

I have an old keyboard and RALT is key-mapped (registry) to RWIN. So I don't have two Alt keys. Do you think SendInput() will work in an EXE?

Are the instructions suggesting (for example, profile 1) the chord LAlt + RAlt + Ctrl + Shift + 1? (Whew!)

Thanks!
