Please fill out the below information:

  • Your Windows build number: 10.0.18362.356

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy&paste the full set of specific command-line steps necessary to reproduce the behavior, and their output. Include screen shots if that helps demonstrate the problem.)
    I can open the find box by right-clicking the title bar and select from the menu. But I can't open it with Ctrl + F shortcut.

Looks like you're using bash, doesn't ^F move forward a character by default? I think you'll find most of those shortcuts will be passed through and won't work as they do under CMD

@logeab My fault. I forgot that Ctrl + F is a shortcut in Bash.
Anyway, how to open the find tool in terminal?
