If I comment out the if block below the comment
          /* if super (default), take input manager's word so things like
             dvorak / qwerty layout work */
in nsterm.m, everything works. Unless somebody can explain why that if
block exists at all (i.e. why [theEvent characters] instead of [theEvent
charactersIgnoringModifiers] is used), then I'd suggest to remove the block
completely.
