Description of the new feature/enhancement

Hey I love doing work on my windows machine! I just hate having to relearn shortcuts for stuff, and the tmux shortcuts are burned into my brain. I then went to keybind windows terminal in the same way as tmux, however you folks dont let windows terminal keybind things such as "ctrl+b+c"; which is not valid.

Please add this!

I think this is actually a duplicate of issue #1334 (Support "Key Chords" in keybindings):

many text editors support "key chords" where the chord is a combination of multiple keys pressed in sequence. For example, in Visual Studio, the default keybinding for "Comment Code" is the chord [ctrl+c, ctrl+k].

ah yes i think it is also a duplicate, however key chords seem to encapsulate the feature that I am requesting if it would allow something like "ctrl+b+j" to be bound
