Windows Terminal version

1.21.10351.0

Windows build number

10.0.26100.0

Other Software

I am no longer able to inspect elements using ctrl-shift-c. Every time i press that key combo it opens a new terminal window. I am also unable to perform copy text as listed in the settings > actions. That also opens a new terminal.

Chrome won't let you change ctrl-shift-c

I cannot find anywhere in windows how to turn that off.

Can someone please give me a suggestion?

Steps to reproduce

press ctrl-shift-c

Expected Behavior

If I am in chrome or edge i expect it to open the dev tools and init element inspect.

Actual Behavior

a terminal window opens. it goes to Windows Powershell. When I open with windows-x-i it goes to Powershell.
