Bug Description
If you invoke CC from inside VS Code, then pressing Ctrl-3 won't switch tabs (like in VS Code is the usual behavior). Instead, Ctrl-3 will not switch to tab 3, but will cancel CC. As if you pressed Ctrl-C.
Steps to Reproduce
- Invoke CC from VS Code
- Have 4+ tabs open
- Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2, etc. to change tabs
- Ctrl-3 will not switch tabs, but will simulate Ctrl-C
Expected Behavior
Ctrl-3 should switch to tab 3
Actual Behavior
Ctrl-3 is like Ctrl-C
