Summary of the new feature/enhancement

I'm using Vim as default editor on Linux, also doing some job on multiple vim windows. As you know, Vim uses Ctrl-W to switch between its window, but it also causes closing tab on microsoft terminal. Would you please remove Ctrl-W from default keybindings?

Thank you!
