Description of the new feature/enhancement

At this time the only option for actions is pressing two or three keys at the same time.
For example: ctrl+shift+1

It's very handy to add a new feature like tmux prefix.
For example: ctrl+b n for create a new tab.

  1. Press ctrl+b and release them.
  2. Windows Terminal waiting for our next key.
  3. Press n and release that.
  4. And then Windows Terminal create another tab for us.

Wow, this issue was created on Jun 19, 2019.
I wonder why it has not been implemented yet.
