Hello fellow GNU lovers!
I guess I can safely say I found a very weird bug, of which I haven't found any single reference anywhere on the Internet. So I have got to post here to ask for suggestions and general help with my issue.
The issue:
I can't type the letter P in its uppercase form in my terminal... When I try entering one on my keyboard, it's just as if nothing happens.
I can, however, autocomplete a folder name from "pokemon" to "Pokemon". Or have an access to a "SPACE" folder by just typing "sp" and then autocomplete using TAB. (For curious people who don't know how to be able to have autocomplete ignore case this way, you have to activate it in a ~/.inputrc file by pasting in this file the command set completion-ignore-case on.)
However, it just got annoying a few moments ago when I wanted to rsync Pokemon /my_new_folder/ because then the autocomplete doesn't work (I don't know why, maybe rsync doesn't have it).
So, putting aside the issue of being able to copy this specific folder, which there are millions of other ways of doing it (and I'm going to pick one and just do it right after I posted this), I'd like to be able to type uppercase 'P' characters again into my terminal... ^^''
So does anyone have a clue what I could do? Why this is happening to my terminal? What tests I could run to figure out how this is possible?
Thank you for reading! Thanks for caring! =)
PS: By the way, I'm on Ubuntu Gnome 14.10. I think I had this problem before, that it's not new. And, checking my laptop with Ubuntu 13.10... the terminal does accept the uppercase 'P' character as expected, no problem there.

- Shift+P won't type an uppercase P in the terminal, does nothing instead.
- Copy "P" and paste into terminal will result in nothing pasted.
- Copy "Pokemon" and paste into terminal will result in "okemon".
- Typing an uppercase 'P' or copy-pasting it in any other program will work as expected (like here in Firefox, or there in gedit).
