I'm sorry if this has been reported before, spent some time searching through the issues but couldn't find it.

Right now, if I type ctrl-NUM, it seems like it's not being picked up by the terminal app properly. Specifically, I've been trying to get the ctrl-6 vim behaviour to work, but I can't figure out if it's possible.

Thanks!

CTRL-6 does not seem to under CMD (with the Windows version of vim), and also not under WSL (Ubuntu).

Could you share your profiles.json? Also, are you pressing the numpad numbers, or the regular numbers?

We need to check if this is just physical numpad, the number key row, or both. Also how it works relative to the numpad key.

This is almost certainly the number key row. Digits 2 to 8 are supposed to generate some of the C0 control characters when combined with a Ctrl key. You can see the definitions here. I think the only one we support is Ctrl+2, and even that only works on some keyboards (doesn't work on my UK keyboard).

As far as I know, the numpad keys aren't meant to be affected by the Ctrl key (at least when NumLock is on). They don't work at all for us, which is isn't strictly correct, but that's less of an issue.

Here's my profiles.json.

There's not much changed besides some look and feel.

And yes, it's the number key row.

@Luuk34 commented on GitHub (Nov 17, 2019):

As i was intending to say, this has NOTHING to do with user-profiles. It is not working under different profiles so it's a problem of 'Windows Terminal' !

That why i am inserting my profile (BTW: its the default profile!):

@j4james has it right - we should be using that table to send specific characters on C-#. This isn't really even a Windows Terminal problem, this is a conhost problem.

By the way, I'm using emacs with windows terminal and it seems emacs fails to detect key bindings like C-, C-. and .etc even after I have unbound them from shortcuts used by the terminal

A simple way to check if keys are sent through is to run od -c. CTRL+digit combinations don't work, even when unbounded in profiles.json
