Description of the new feature/enhancement

On Windows, there are difference between CTRL + C and CTRL + BREAK, as mentioned in #1118.

Some keyboard layouts do not have the BREAK key. For example, on Surface keyboard, there are no BREAK key. In some situations, CTRL + BREAK is a crucial way to break some processes.

Will be great if Windows Terminal has a command to map CTRL + BREAK to some other keys, e.g. CTRL + SHIFT + BREAK.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
