Can't exit app in VSCode

In the VSCode terminal, if I press Ctrl + C, I get the prompt to quit with Ctrl + Q:

However, if I press Ctrl + Q the app does not exit, I get an VSCode menu coming from the top. Any ideas?

There are a number of key bindings that will "skip the shell" in the VSCode terminal - there's a long discussion in this issue:

I see, thanks. I was not able to find the issue. I've solved it by adding "q" as the exit binding. It is still not ideal because if you press Ctrl+C it still shows "Press Ctrl+Q" to exit, I guess there is also a way to override that message. I do agree with some of the sentiment in the issue, being VSCode such a popular editor this is likely to trip some other people.

In VSCode, you can enable terminal.integrated.sendKeybindingsToShell.

Or add -workbench.action.quickOpenView to terminal.integrated.commandsToSkipShell(I recommend it).
