Hi - thanks for reaching out.  This is very frustrating...

I don't have this issue with any other apps on Ubuntu.

I had a similar issue with Microsoft's VS-Code, but fixed it by changing
its keyboard setting from "Code" to "keyCode".
I know this is entirely unrelated, however I mention only to point out that
I was looking all over in Kate for a similar setting, unsuccessfully.

It occurred to me that perhaps its trying to use a German/DE keyboard
mapping or something, but even [BackSpace] doesn't workand I could
generate any German-Code PAge characters or anything...the key mapping
doesn't follow any logical order.

Is there perhaps a US/English build/version somewhere that is know to
work?  Perhaps a prior version that is know to be stable/working for US
keyboards?


Lastly, sorry but I don't know what "Qt" is.
To my knowledge I don't have any other Qt appsI'm able to use Gedit
with no issues, Chrome, Firefox, VS-Code, Terminal and File Manager.
I'm using the Bitnami LAMP stack on an AWS virtual machine/instance. I'm
using the XFCE GUI running over RDP/port 3389.  The only other app I have
not been able to get working is the Atom editor, it won't even start due to
display issues.  Kate starts OK but has the aforementioned key/mapping
issues.

regards,
Steve
