Windows Terminal version

1.15.2874.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.2251

Other Software

helix 22.08.1

Steps to reproduce

Pressing Ctrl+i doesn't work inside of windows terminal or powershell. It does work in command prompt but not while helix editor is active.

Expected Behavior

Helix editor requires me to use ctrl+i and ctrl+o to move around the file after using ctrl+s. The latter two commands work but ctrl+i does not.

I don't know what ctrl+i function is supposed to be either as it's not printing ^I

Actual Behavior

Nothing, please help
