Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18922.1000
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.2.1715.0

Steps to reproduce

Add the following to the keybindings section of profiles.json:

{
	"command" : "paste",
	"keys" : 
	[
		"shift+insert"
	]
},

Expected behavior

Text is pasted once I press Shift+Insert. I'm on WSL terminal.

Actual behavior

Nothing happens. If the binding is disabled, I get 2~ when this key combination is pressed.
