Windows key doesn't work when assigning key actions #17437
Comments
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, |
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. |
Windows Terminal version

Windows build number

Other Software
No response
Steps to reproduce
Go to settings --> actions --> any action and try to set the key combination. Any combination that involves the windows key is not recognized. This is new with a recent version of terminal.
Expected Behavior
Windows key should be allowed in actions key combinations.
Actual Behavior
The key command does not change. It only changes if the windows key is not involved in the input.
