Ctrl-Shift-6 opens a new terminal tab. Instead, I expected this key combination to be sent to the remote Cisco switch I was connected to via WSL/ssh client #18761

Windows Terminal version

latest preview

Windows build number

latest 10

Other Software

WSL1

Steps to reproduce

have more than 5 profiles defined
ctrl-shift-N is by default assigned to start a new tab for the Nth profile

Expected Behavior

I need ctrl-shift-6 to be passed to terminal instead, since this is the key combination that stops the current comand, such a long running ping on a cisco switch

Actual Behavior

opens a new tab with the 6th defined profile

You can just unbind the key in your settings.
