changing ctrl+` shortcut doesn't toggle terminal when terminal is in focus #9006

Description

Toggling the new 1.3 Terminal works well when bound to it's default shortcut ctrl+but when changed to alt+ it will only toggle the terminal if it is not the focus. If the terminal is the focus it will only type the backtick/grave. This happens with the default cmd.exe terminal and with a powershell.exe terminal.

I did not try any shortcuts other than alt+so I can't speak to the extent of the issue but using alt+ worked with the 1.2 integrated terminal.

  • VSCode Version: 1.3.0
  • OS Version: Windows 10.0.10586

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Add new keyboard shortcut to keybindings.json
  2. { "key": "alt+`", "command": "workbench.action.terminal.toggleTerminal" }
