I recently moved from Visual Studio 2019 to 2022, and after getting quite used to the ctrl-` shortcut for the terminal window it's been incredibly frustrating to discover that it just doesn't work in 2022. The shortcut is even listed in the search results when I search for 'terminal', but nothing I've done has gotten it to work. I've done a fair amount of research and it doesn't appear that anyone else has had this problem. Any ideas? Appreciate the help.

    Go to Tools \ Options -> Environment \ Keyboard. Go to the Press shortcut keys box and type the keystroke. It'll show you the command associated with it. For me it is navigate backwards. If you want it to be something else then select the command and then type the shortcut key. In your particular case you want the View.Terminal command. For me it is Ctrl+`. Change it to what you want.
