Windows build number: 10.0.19013.0

With Terminal v0.9.433.0 this profile setting works as expected:

"keybindings": [
    { "command": "unbound", "keys": ["ctrl+^"] }
]

Instead of opening another Terminal tab the command is sent to the running app (in my case Ctrl+^ switches to the alternate file in Vim).

With Terminal v0.10.761.0 this stops working. I've tried all of the following without success:

{ "command": "unbound", "keys": ["ctrl+^"] }
{ "command": "null", "keys": ["ctrl+^"] }

{ "command": "unbound", "keys": "ctrl+^" }
{ "command": "null", "keys": "ctrl+^" }

{ "command": "unbound", "keys": ["ctrl+shift+6"] }
{ "command": "null", "keys": ["ctrl+shift+6"] }

{ "command": "unbound", "keys": "ctrl+shift+6" }
{ "command": "null", "keys": "ctrl+shift+6" }

The only relevant-looking change in the release notes for v0.10.761.0 is this one but I'm not smart enough to figure out exactly what the problem might be.

All advice very gratefully received. 🙂
