Environment

Windows build number: 1909
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): v0.7.3291.0

Steps to reproduce

Just simply start the windows terminal app and make sure that the keybinding for splitting panes horizontally is 'Alt+Shift+-' and vertically 'Alt+Shift+='

Expected behavior

If you use the left Shift key of the keyboard it works but if you use the right Shift key it doesn't work

Actual behavior

Both 'Shift' keys should work

@nishp77 The inability to recognise the right shift key may be related to issue #337.

@mdtauk That sounds like an unrelated feature request. You should probably raise that as a separate issue, assuming one doesn't already exist.

@nishp77 If you can't reproduce it any more, I think you can probably close the issue yourself.
