Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/1718

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Summary of the Pull Request

As a continuation to #1436 this PR adds a Microsoft::Terminal::Core::ControlKeyStates class which will act as a safe wrapper for the ControlKeyState enum, found in the NT console subsystem (<um/wincon.h>) and used throughout the older parts of this project.

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Feel free to reject, modify, adopt or otherwise use this code in any way or form.
If you have comments I'll try my best of integrating them.
The ControlKeyStates class I wrote is as good as I was able to think of one for now which is compatible to the rest of the code base.
I think it should replace the KeyModifiers enum, but I'm a total C# noob and was afraid of doing so (my total C# experience is about 10h or so and I haven't even touched IDLs yet lol).

Validation Steps Performed

As with #1436 I tested all possible Alt/Ctrl/Shift/AltGr combinations on my german keyboard using PowerShell and wsl.
Only AltGr+E (= €) on PowerShell failed to work, but I strongly assume that this is due to the ReadLine module or similar, as it works with wsl.
