Steps to reproduce

Using the setting { "command": "copy", "keys": "ctrl+shift+c" }, ctrl+shift+c performs a copy operation for a time before reverting to sending SIGINT. Sometimes it works for weeks, sometimes it fails after minutes. The issue is intermittent and I don't know how to trigger it. Restarting WT seems to yeild the expected behavior. There are no changes on my end. Here's my full config:

{
    "$schema": "https://aka.ms/terminal-profiles-schema",
    // Add custom actions and keybindings to this array.
    // To unbind a key combination from your defaults.json, set the command to "unbound".
    // To learn more about actions and keybindings, visit https://aka.ms/terminal-keybindings
    "actions": 
    [
        // Copy and paste are bound to Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V in your defaults.json.
        // These two lines additionally bind them to Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.
        // To learn more about selection, visit https://aka.ms/terminal-selection
        { "command": "paste", "keys": "ctrl+shift+v" },
        { "command": "copy", "keys": "ctrl+shift+c" },
        // Press Ctrl+Shift+F to open the search box
        {
            "command": "find",
            "keys": "ctrl+shift+f"
        },
        // Press Alt+Shift+D to open a new pane.
        // - "split": "auto" makes this pane open in the direction that provides the most surface area.
        // - "splitMode": "duplicate" makes the new pane use the focused pane's profile.
        // To learn more about panes, visit https://aka.ms/terminal-panes

Expected Behavior

I'm expecting that ctrl+shift+c will always perform a copy operation when using this setting.

Actual Behavior

WT reverts to sending SIGINT, contrary to the config until WT is restarted.

Hey, sorry we never replied to this! Looks like you filed an issue while the bot was off taking a nap so this never got into our triage queue.

Is this still happening for you? I can't imagine why the keybinding would ever stop working while the Terminal is running. So long as you have a selection active, ctrl+shift+c should only copy. Of course, if there's no selection, then yea, it'll fall through as a SIGINT
