Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

Typing Ctrl + ` in the editor increases the character count (or moves the internal cursor position) while visually no character appears on the screen.

In the attached screenshot I pressed the combination 30 times, and each time the count increased by 1.

This could be related to zed-industries/zed#5196 , since the key combination should be the one that opens the Terminal.

Expected behavior

Either some character should appear or the character count should not increase (or the cursor should not move).

Environment

Zed 0.59.0 – /Applications/Zed.app
macOS 12.5.1
architecture arm64

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help explain present your vision of the feature

What keyboard layout are you using? What does that key combination do for you in other in TextEdit.app?

[aclementev]

The keyboard layout is "Spanish".

On TextEdit.app I don't see any effect either.

I experience the same issue with a "French" layout. Also, it prevents the default shortcut "ctrl+`" to open the terminal.

I am no longer able to reproduce this in current versions of Zed with Spanish keyboard layout. I believe this has been fixed by:
