Environment

Win32NT 10.0.18362.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18362.0

Any other software?
no

Steps to reproduce

  1. In profiles.json set the keybinding for the commands scrollUp and scrollDown to "unbound"
  2. get the terminal in a state where there are enough lines to make the vertical scrollbar appear
  3. press ctrl+shift+up or ctrl+shift+down

Expected behavior

Nothing should happen because the scrollUp and scrollDown were unbound.

Actual behavior

The terminal is still scrolling up and down.

Can you share the snippet from your settings where you are doing the unbinding?

Ah, so, key bindings bind keys to invoke commands, not the other way around. You will have to add a key binding that specifies keys=ctrl+shift+up and command=unbound to remove the binding that exists for Ctrl+Shift+Up

This does stop the scrolling from hapenning, however it seems like it's swallowing the keypress entirely since my text editor running in the terminal is not receiving the key chord
