Windows key doesn't work when assigning key actions about terminal HOT 5 OPEN

My understanding was that this was by design, since the Windows key is meant to be reserved for OS usage. See #4329 (comment). But perhaps that policy has changed.

That makes sense, however I don't know why the feature was removed in a recent release. It had been working for quite a long time, so I don't believe it's a technical limitation.

@matthewclso Sorry, I was mistaken. The policy obviously was changed at some point, and support for the Win key was added in PR #9783. I just checked the version I have installed (1.21.1272.0), and it definitely works for me. Is it possible that you're just trying to use a key combination that is already in use by the OS, or some other apps that's hijacking hotkeys? For example, try an obscure combination like Win+Ctrl+Shift+X.

Ah, Win+Ctrl+Shift+x does work! But my old combination Win+Ctrl+t doesn't work. Oddly enough, Win+Ctrl+b does work. A few other combinations involving the windows key, even if not paired to a system command, don't work either - might the restrictions for certain key combinations have changed recently?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Possibly an OS upgrade or another app that you have installed, e.g. Microsoft PowerToys? I've just tried your key combination (Win+Ctrl+t) and it works for me, but I'm on Windows 10. I've also tried installing the same version of Windows Terminal as you (1.20.11381.0) and it works there too, so I don't think it's related to the terminal version.
