Terminal: Where do I find default keybindings?

[pjoe]

I may have missed something, but have already spent 30+ minutes, trying to find documentation of the default keybindings 🤔

Please add this info, preferably accessible from the app itself, e.g. in the Aboutmenu.

I mean, right at the top of the settings file is the following:

https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/4608fd0b94af2f4cf6ceec7b324ba36462e9c06b/src/cascadia/TerminalApp/userDefaults.json#L1-L2

and if you do follow those directions and hold Alt while pressing the settings button, this file will open, with the default keybindings in it

Actually, opening this issue again. This may be an accessibility issue. @cinnamon-msft is gathering data from Twitter and we'll figure out next steps from there.

This has an impact on Accessibility's Automation Properties because if we have text visible on the screen, no reason to add an auto property of hidden help text to say this.

This is a p3 docs issue for backlog.

Hmm, this seems very convoluted, compared to e.g. VS Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts-windows.pdf

TBH. I never thought to look at that comment in the settings, I was browsing source code and googling, trying to 'reverse-engineer' from files like: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/master/src/cascadia/TerminalApp/CascadiaSettings.cpp#L135

Agree with @pjoe, if you don't know where to look this is a pretty large usability\documentation gap.
