Description of the new feature/enhancement

This command seemingly does not work for opening a new tab, in fact, all combinations like this one do not do what I would expect.

    {
      "command": {
        "action": "newTab",
        "keys": "ctrl+b+c"
      }
    }

I tried the following.

I pressed ctrl + b and released,
I pressed c and released,

I also tried pressing and holding ctrl + b + c in case that was how the format worked.

I am trying to get tmux like behavior with tabs, and pane splitting, for example with ctrl + b + %.
If this is possible please show an example or provide documentation.

This is the last thing I need for adoption of replacing my linux workflow on windows. Everything else worked perfectly with windows terminal.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

What I would expect.
Combination and Chaining of keys.

keys are wrapped in what combination must be held/released

    {
      "command": {
        "action": "newTab",
        "keys": "{ctrl+b}+{c}"
      }
    }

Since pressing and holding ctrl + b + c didn't cause the expected behavior it sounds like that first must be supported, before being able to parse {} {} cominations.
