cannot switch off global hotkey ctrl-space and there's only one way to switch off the global hotkey to toggle Tabby window in Welcome page, and it doesn't work

[Eugeny]

You can switch it off at any time in Settings -> Hotkeys -> Toggle window

Same problem here, I've been trying to find something about this but there is none. @Eugeny 's answer is correct but isn't working for me. I'm on Windows 10 with an qwerty layout, and switched the hotkey to:

toggle-window:
 - Ctrl-Backquote

but it doesn't work. The only key that works so far is Ctrl-Space, but there's conflict with vscode ctrl-space hotkey.

Just found this on devtools when trying to set Ctrl-Backquote as default hotkey for toggle-terminal-window:

I had the same problem. After testing, it is found that the two switches under the welcome page need to click the 'close and never show again' button to take effect.

Also I found a bug. After closing the global hotkeys and closing the welcome page, the keys in Settings -> Hotkeys -> Toggle window will be cleared, If the welcome page is displayed again by modifying the configuration file at this time, the global hotkey switch under the welcome page will be displayed as on, and the global hotkey cannot be turned on again through the welcome page.

Hi. It is an Electron app and by default the backquote is not allowed yet as a string. You can Edit the config file to use:

 toggle-window:
  - Ctrl-`

But it was not enough for me and I had to make a workaround on Linux, because of using non qwerty layout
