Windows build number

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Bind F12 key to "Show/Hide terminal window" action.
Save settings
Press F12 key, it will do nothing.

Expected Behavior

The binding is configured and pressing the F12 key shows or hides the terminal window.

Actual Behavior

It does allow the F12 key binding correctly, but pressing F12 does nothing. Binding other key (F10, for instance) does work as expected. Tested on Windows 11 and 10, both fully updated. Same terminal version on both Windows versions.
