Environment

Windows build number: 19008.vb
Windows Terminal version 0.6.2951.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Launching a new tab is done via CTRL+SHIFT+
I remap my Caps Lock key to CTRL via remapkey utility which just changes a registry key somewhere. This behavior works everywhere except for the Terminal app.

Expected behavior

Windows Terminal respects my remapped key, i.e., Caps Lock + Shift + launches a new tab.

Actual behavior

Caps Lock + Shift + does not launch a new tab

The plot thickens. It failed earlier, but now it's working fine. I no longer have a clean repro of this so closing for now to avoid spamming y'all.
