Windows Terminal version

1.22.11141.0

Windows build number

10.0.26100.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26100.0

Other Software

wsl, ubuntu based.
same is with tmux, version 3.5

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open WSL in Windows Terminal, execute showkey -a (if not installed, install it using apt-get install or dnf....)
  2. Start showkey -a
  3. Press ctrl+enter, ctrl+shift+enter

Expected Behavior

I expect to have different trigger so I can use ctrl+shift+enter or ctrl+enter in my apps (tmux, vim) exactly the same as I am using them on other operating systems (Linux Fedora, Manjaro, MacOS) with different Terminals (Alacritty, Kitty, Ghostty, iTerm2)

Actual Behavior

The same keybind triggers as if you would press ctrl+j

Additional info

I've checked the issue https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/6912, however, the last comments somehow showed it as duplicated of another ticket, that then got merged and completed. And another user claiming its not a bug its a feature and I should remap keybind such as ctrl+enter to f9 in powertoys. I dont think this workaround solves anything, but I would love to know how I can fix the issue.

@DHowett commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2025):

Thanks!
Alas, ^J is the canonical encoding for Ctrl+Enter in VT. (In the case of control characters, Shift doesn't matter.)

We're entertaining adding support for a richer keyboard protocol over in /dup #11509.
