Actual Behavior

win/alt/ctrl and other non-printable keys.

That's weird - are you just pressing the keybinding in the editor, or are you trying to type the key out? Might be related to #11341

FWIW, Win+1-Win+0 won't work as keybindings, since those are reserved by the OS.

i tried both typing it out and pressing the keys. neither of them worked. though the ctrl key started working so i just set the quake mode to ctrl + 0. the other keys still won't work. my guess is that the os is capturing the win key from the application.

Could be. Depends on what key chord you're pressing - most of them are reserved by the OS. You could always edit the settings.json file by hand, to add the chord you want. I suspect, however, if it's not reaching the Terminal in the Settings UI, then something's already hooked that keybinding, and setting that keybinding manually won't work either 😉
