Windows Terminal version

1.24.2372.0

Windows build number

10.0.26100.6584

Other Software

not really relevant? maybe power toys?

Steps to reproduce

i had these keybindings set:

    "keybindings": 
    [
        {
            "id": "User.splitPane.A6751878",
            "keys": "alt+shift+d"
        },
        {
            "id": "User.toggleSplitOrientation",
            "keys": "alt+shift+s"
        },
        {
            "id": "User.find",
            "keys": "ctrl+shift+f"
        }
    ],

however the "splitPane" macro no longer works with alt+shift+s for 'reasons'?

Expected Behavior

It used to work fine - but recently broke? Something seems to be eating this particular command. I changed to "alt+shift+r" which does work.

Actual Behavior

"nothing" happens (nothing noticable)

I never would have found that reddit thread - THANKS... The fix for me was indeed what u/Aur0r491 wrote:

I'm using SHIFT+ALT+S for almost 20 years and out of sudden it was not working anymore. Just found out that it was EDGE who is blocking the hotkey system wide (wtf). Easiert way for me to fix this was to disable 'Continue running background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed' on page edge://settings/system/manageSystem#StartupBoost&1

I disabled that and ctrl+shift+s works again. Edge is such a bad idea but I digress. Thanks @BartmanAbyss
