Problem

I have Super+. mapped to Switch to workspace on the right in gnome settings keyboard shortcuts. It works everywhere except when focus is on the terminal. There, it enters an e in the terminal, but keeps the rest of the entry underlined until I hit enter, where the preceding e disappears.

I can't take a screenshot of it because this "pending text" disappears when focus is removed. While focus remains, the screenshot binding (also a Super binding: Super+P) gets ignored. This screenshot binding works in the terminal otherwise.

Question

What is this and where is this being handled?

Want

I'd want this binding to work even when focus is in the terminal.

Tried

I checked the separate gnome terminal shortcuts and there is no such binding. I searched the web and nothing similar is coming up. I can't seem to find any existence of a Super+. binding. Not in Vim nor Linux.

This behavior persists whether or not I bind Super+. in gnome shortcuts.

This behavior persists when focus is in terminal, whether in vim or not.

I use vim bindings in the terminal and this problem persists when I disable them.

Tried unmap <D-.> in my .vimrc.
