Hi, thanks for reporting. There is a well-known and very old problem with terminal keycodes. Depending on the terminal emulator you're using and (maybe) OS, some keys and a combination of keys produce the same keycode. E.g. <C-i> and <Tab> produce the same keycode and they are impossible to differentiate in most of the terminal emulators (as far as I know). I don't know much about the history of this problem so I can't go too deep about this.

Anyway, I tested <C-/> on my machine (Ubuntu 22.04, terminal: Wezterm) and it produces the correct output so I'm pretty sure this issue is not screenkey-related but rather it has to do with how your terminal emulator handles input.
