Comment:

 All of these need to go. Far more than Terminal gets messed up. The XO
 keyboard has plenty of exotic keys to use, plus a frame. There is no need
 to swipe regular keys from the activities.

 I just checked Tux Paint. It wants: Alt-S Ctrl-Shift-Esc Ctrl-Z Ctrl-R
 Ctrl-O Ctrl-N Ctrl-S Ctrl-D

 Contemplate an emacs activity.

 FWIW, this is also an ICCCM violation. You're not supposed to ever steal
 keys. Stealing the non-standard keys shouldn't be a problem though.
