I have Terminal 2.1715. I have a base powershell tab and a wsl2 tab (Ubuntu). I am in the WSL2 tab and enter CTL-T and instead of passing through I get a new powershell tab opened. I think you need to default to something a bit different for this function.

As of now, you could set it through your profiles.json

"defaultProfile" :

I am also wondering if we could have a separate setting for default tab when we open the terminal and another setting for opening new tabs. For example, when you first open the terminal, you get a windows cmd and when you open a new tab it gives you ubuntu bash or PowerShell instead.

I think you misunderstood. I don't want to create a new tab on ctl-t. i want ctl-t passed through to the app in the tab (WSL). Actually, I think they need an option for a definition to say that all keys get passed through to the underlying app, or to make several keybindings and allow the definition of a terminal to say which keybinding that terminal wants to use.

I would recommend changing this keybinding in your profiles.json file to something other than ctrl+t:
{ "command" : "newTab", "keys" : [ "ctrl+t" ] },
This will free up this keybinding and allow it to be passed to your WSL 2 distro.

already did that, but this is not a good default choice. Linux curses apps use keys like ct-T and other single litter keys with ctl
