Fix typo
  • # 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 focused 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.

How to stop terminal from handling `Super+.`
# 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 focused is removed.

# 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.
