Settings pane breaks input: cannot exit full-screen from settings pane nor access "ctrl+shift+p" #10116

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.7.1033.0

Other Software

Microsoft Terminal 1.7.1033.0

Steps to reproduce

Enter the new settings GUI/pane after loading up a terminal full screen. F11 does not work when trying to exit nor does ESC.

Sample step:

  1. Open Powershell in Terminal.
  2. F11 to go full screen
  3. Ctrl+shift+p, then "Open settings..."
  4. Congratulations, you are now "locked" until you shift+tab to the other terminal. Ctrl+shift+p does not work in this settings pane either.

Expected Behavior

Being able to easily escape full screen mode using F11 or esc. The F11 also does not work to enter full screen from the settings pane.

Actual Behavior

You are locked and no common tricks (alt+f4, esc, ctrl+shift+p) helps. Only the shift+tab works to get rid of this. Probably a niche case but I thought it was the full screen Windows settings app since it has a similar UI and I launched it full screen. I was locked until I try to kill it form the taskbar and it said, "do you want to kill all tabs" which gave me the idea of "shift+tab".

Unrelated, is there a solid way to do screen record while capturing the inputs? I wanted to add a gif. I know that VSCode has a "Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode". Is there a feature like that in Windows overall? Where's the appropriate place to make a new issue for that feature?

Thanks for the request! This is basically jus a variation on #8767 - see that thread for more details.

There's another request already open elsewhere on the repo for that, but IMO the best solution is just to use a dedicated piece of software for recording the screen. I personally use ScreenToGif. The Terminal isn't ever going to be able to compete at recording itself vs what a dedicated screen recorder like ScreenToGif can do 😝

Thanks! I knew about the ScreenToGif but I didn't know they had a keystroke capture feature. Also, sorry for not finding the dup ticket. I went back a few pages to find a similar ticket but didn't search through all the tickets. Glad to see it is something y'all are working on.
