Are you using the version of ssh that comes with windows? If so, this is because they do not support shift-tab. Win32-OpenSSH 8.1+ will fix this.

Happy to help. Sorry that there's an issue 😄

The problem is that Windows SSH has its own input generator. It reads the keyboard keys on its own, and converts them into the right format. It doesn't know what to do when it gets a "shift" and a "tab" at the same time.

For now, you can either update to the new version (at https://github.com/powershell/win32-openssh/releases) or use SSH through WSL.
