Description of the new feature/enhancement

It would be nice to be able to either change or un-bind predefined key binds.

I'm unable to send break sequences to remote devices due to the overlap in the key bind with Windows Terminal. The remote break sequence is "Ctrl+Shift+6+X" however, once you hit the 6, you just get a bunch of new default shell tabs.

Defining a new key bind to the same action does not disable or replace the predefined key bind.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

We can already define new key binds in the settings, but we cannot disable or change the ones that are pre-existing. Even if we can't disable them completely, if we could at least change them to something else, that would solve my issue.

Edit
Touche' it is possible to "unbind", at the very bottom of the doc
