Environment

Windows build number: 19033.1
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.7.3291.0

Any other software? WSL

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set keybindings as following:
    "keybindings": [
        { "command": "copy", "keys": [ "ctrl+c" ] },
        { "command": "copyTextWithoutNewlines", "keys": [ "ctrl+shift+c" ] }
]
  1. copy multiple lines of text from terminal with "ctrl+c", paste to notepad
  2. copy multiple lines of text from terminal with "ctrl+shift+c", paste to notepad

Expected behavior

Step 2 should paste texts with line breaks
Step 3 should paste texts without line breaks (one line with a lot of spaces)

Actual behavior

Step 2 results in one line of texts
Step 3 results in multiple line of text
