Terminal: shift+ins not being recognised as key bindings for paste
Environment
Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.418]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.6.2951
Steps to reproduce
adding shift +ins for paste does not work, while ctrl+shift+v works in profile.json
"keybindings": [{ "unbound": "nextTab", "keys": ["ctrl+tab"] },
{ "keys": ["Shift+Ins"], "command": "paste" }, //does not work
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+v"], "command": "paste" } //works
]
Expected behavior
pasting of highlighted text triggered by CopyonSelect
Actual behavior
some terminal control chars ~2 gets printed instead of CopyonSelect text

Does shift+insert work as a keybinding? I believe our key for Insert is insert, not Ins.

No, it doesn't. nor any combination of capitalised shift+insert variants.

Strange question: what keyboard layout are you using?

Strange question: what keyboard layout are you using?
T470 Lenovo laptop, US-eng layout and English-India keyboard layout as shown in Win 10.
Switched kb layout using system tray icons on the right and tried Terminal again; same results.

It works if shift+insert is the only keybind, but if you try having multiple, it doesn't work.
ie.
{
"command" : "paste",
"keys" :
[
"shift+insert"
]
},
Works, but
{
"command" : "paste",
"keys" :
[
"ctrl+shift+v",
"shift+insert"
]
},
Doesn't

Yes, multiple keys bound to a single command are for _key chording_. You need an individual key binding for each key. When we support chording, you鈥檇 activate a chorded key binding by pressing all of the keys _in sequence_.

Tried your suggestion but didn't work for me. see snippet below..
"keybindings": [{ "unbound": "nextTab", "keys": ["ctrl+tab"] },
{"command": "paste","keys": ["shift+insert"]},
//{ "keys": ["shift+insert"], "command": "paste" },
//{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+v"], "command": "paste" },
{ "command": "unbound", "keys": [ "alt+shift+-" ] },
{ "command": "unbound", "keys": [ "alt+shift+plus" ] },

@sivaramn right: your issue is one we still can't figure out. "Thor Erik"'s, however, is as stated.
When I paste your keybindings directly into my config file, paste works just fine.
The only ways I can break paste on Shift+Ins is by adding a second empty keybindings elsewhere in the file.
Can you share your entire profiles.json? I realize we've never asked for that. Sorry!
