Keyboard Manager

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Keyboard Manager settings.
2. Select Enable Keyboard Manager if it isn't already running.
3. Select Remap a key.
4. Select + Add key remapping.
5. On the newly-added row, select...er, Select.
6. Press a key to remap.
7. In the To send drop-down, choose "Send Text".
8. Click in the text box under the drop-down.
9. Hold down the Alt key and type 0149 on the numeric keypad.

✔️ Expected Behavior

The bullet point character corresponding to that character code will be added to the text box:

❌ Actual Behavior

There is a brief pause and nothing is added to the text field. Keyboard Manager has intercepted the input.

This behaviour is also present for the Remap a shortcut UI and for other text fields within the KBM dialog:

• Target app
• Path/URI
• App args
• Start in directory

Note: copying-and-pasting the same character into these fields does work.
