Describe the feature

At the moment, if I open the integrated terminal and I press crtl-r, the menu for recents projects opens up (since I remapped the Workspace::projects::OpenRecent command to this keys) but I would like the terminal to process this keyboard input to reverse-search recent commands with bash.

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

hi @notpeter, thanks but that's weird IMHO: if so, I must explicitly list in the keymap.json all the keystrokes I want to forward to the terminal. This should be the default behaviour when the terminal it's focused (w/o any configurations). What do you think?

Apologies, for the brevity. Yes, I think this is an issue. For the moment I wanted to direct you to a workaround which will allow you to have the terminal operate as you expect.

This is definitely unsolved, especially if users want to be able to use the full range of ctrl- prefixed keyboard shortcuts while in terminal that doesn't leave anything for Zed. On the other hand we want to support people's usage models. On MacOS we leverage the cmd key , but (for the moment) we have not create default bindings for Linux/Windows using the super / windows key as an alternate modifier.

Some people want ctrl-w to close their terminal.
Some people want ctrl-w to delete the previous word.
Somebody's going to be unhappy with the default.

So we are aware and working towards trying strike the right balance. Please bear with us.
