3 years ago technically, it will accept an array with one element 😉 We're leaving the array parsing in for now, since we do plan on coming back to adding support for key chords - see microsoft/terminal#1334

On this page of Windows Terminal's documentation, under the heading “keys” (as directly linked in the below automatically-included “Document Details”), the documentation states that “[key] defines the key combinations used to call the command”—note the plural on the word “combinations”. Also note that this does not state “combination of keys”—it is quite plain that this unambiguously states that multiple separate key combinations can be set using this key.
Furthermore, the documentation here states that the key “key” “Accepts: String or array[string]”. As of Windows Terminal 1.4.3141.0 (the latest stable version as of this writing), “key” does indeed accept an “array[string]”, but returns this error upon trying to save your settings with an array with more than one element here (as a pop-up if Windows Terminal is open):
Personally, I'd prefer it if the feature were implemented, rather than just a correction being made to the documentation, but I imagine fixing the documentation is quicker, and more urgent though less important.
