[BUG] Colon character weird behavior on VIM editor

[danpeig]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

When using VIM editor, I can't type the colon ":" to initiate a command, for instance ":q!". Interestingly when the input mode is active (text writing) I can type the colon without issues. I tried using different terminals but the behavior is the same.

Note: Webtop updated on April 30th 2026, before that the keyboard special keys were completely broken.

Expected Behavior

It should immediately read the ":" from the keyboard and enter it in the command window.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install VIM or simply SSH to any server that uses VIM.
2. Type :q! to exit. : will not work.

So this messed this up: selkies-project/selkies@613efa7

And it is specific to our KDE workaround to enter special characters, what is specifically happening is this labled : as a character that should use that path so it is being pasted in via a ctl+v command sequence.

This was made in response to certifying input on non english keyboards, so this fixed stuff like colon and semi colon not typing properly on french or german keyboards as they have different shift modifiers.

Just explaining why it happened, need to think of a solution that keeps their text input working but stops forcing the clipboard paste path for stuff like this. I might just need to whitelist : from this path, but in general you will notice when you type some characters in the console you get the text highlighted this is the paste path in action.

Thanks for letting me know this is specific to KDE.
