I use the global hotkey win + ` for personal use (set in another program), but recently it's taken over by WT quake mode, which I don't use. How can I disable this key binding?

I know quake mode has been here for years, but pressing win + ` never invoked it for me until very recently. Did something change after a recent update? My current WT version 1.22.10731.0, Win11 build 26100.3775.

I've tried assigning a different keybinding to it, for instance by adding

"keybindings": [
  {
    "id": "Terminal.QuakeMode",
    "keys": "win+shift+`"
  }
]

The new keybinding works, however the old win + ` is still not disabled.
