On my other computer, Debian & Gnome NyaoVim works perfectly fine.

I'm getting a similar issue on Manjaro with Colemak, except that, rather than treating, say, as y as with @Moeryn's issue, I'm getting , which is what it would've been if I were using QWERTY. This happens for all keys pressed with Ctrl.

Same issue here with Dvorak layout; issue goes away immediately if I change the layout to QWERTY -- so looks like it's a general issue with non-QWERTY layouts?

Did a bit of digging. Turns out that in the 'keydown' handler NeovimInput.prototype.onInputNonText, event.key is already wrong. This seems relevant: https://github.com/atom/atom-keymap/issues/37

I'm having a similar problem with Atom installed via AUR. The Z / Y keys are inverted (I use a QWERTZ keyboard). When I type "z" in Atom the character is displayed correctly (a "z" apperas), but when I use a shortcut it is inverted.

Edit: Switching back to Atom downloaded from atom.io solves the issue

It seems this can be traced to using a later version of Electron: https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/13170 - I am seeing the Ctrl + dvorak error on Manjaro with electron 1.4.12-1 installed.

I solved by uninstalling the community edition and installing atom-editor-bin from AUR (which bundles the correct version of electron) https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50357

Just to say that update 1.4.12-2 of electron solved the problem of wrong keymap for Ctrl+<> bindings. This was discussed about in this ArchLinux bug report.

For ArchLinux users, this is now the version available from official community repo for (compiled on 17/12/2016).

Will check, thanks @Reylak !

Yep, I was able to fix the problem by editing the NyaoVim's package.json file, replacing the electron-prebuilt version to "*" and doing an npm upgrade.
