Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/985

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Summary of the Pull Request

Fix #744, by making sure the TermControl always handles Tab keypresses. This will break keyboard navigation with tab, but considering that the shell almost always wants tab as a character, this makes more sense. We should probably introduce another keybinding to manually get the focus out of the control, but that can be a follow-up.
