Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
When using an alternative keyboard layout (in this case, Colemak),
gnome-terminal seems to treat all keyboard shortcuts as though they were
typed using QWERTY. Typing normally into the terminal works properly.
For example, "end of file" becomes ctrl+s and "clear screen" becomes
ctrl+i, but I can invoke commands with d or l in their name with no
problem.
A little bit of poking in xev shows that though the keysym is different
between the two modes, the keycode is identical. Perhaps gnome-terminal
is using the wrong key property for determining which shortcut was
pressed.
xterm works as expected.
