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

  1. Invoke CC from VS Code
  2. Have 4+ tabs open
  3. Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2, etc. to change tabs
  4. 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
