as mentioned in the bug tracker[1], the likely explanation is that the Colemak
layout has two keys which are mapped to BackSpace, namely the usual backspace
key and the caps lock key. Unfortunately we use XKeysymToKeycode to resolve
the keysym used in a binding to a keycode, and the behavior of this function
is not well-defined when there are multiple keycodes mapping to the same
keysym.
I'm afraid that fixing this might require some fundamental changes to Notion,
and it might not be worth the hassle. As a work-around, you could explicitly
unmap the usual backspace key (using the keyword NoSymbol), so that only caps
lock is mapped to BackSpace. I don't know whether this is acceptable for you
though.
