Recently my keyboard starts getting crazy, everytime I press the key combination Ctrl + [Period] it prints the letter e, and then if I try to re-press the combination it deletes the e letter. I tried to reinstall the keyboard layout (which in my case is the IT layout) but even if I'm using the US it gets the same problem. example of the letter

I noticed that right after the installation, the system the keyboard was mapped correctly, I think the problems came out after the installation of VSCode, maybe the problem is caused by some "under the hood" feature of VSCode? But sounds strange because it affects the whole system, even if the VSCode is completely closed.

P.S.: I have already re-install completely the system but the problem pops out again.

P.P.S.: When I tried to map the new keybinding (setting ctrl+[period], VSCode just tells me that the combination is unknown keymapping value)

Does anybody have some idea about this problem?

Nowadays IBus uses that shortcut by default to access emojis.

If you need the shortcut for other purposes, you can run ibus-setup in a terminal window, select the Emoji tab, and change the Emoji annotation shortcut to your liking.
