Bug Description
Many of the keybindings aren't working when I use a second keyboard layout in KDE. They tend to insert characters into the terminal rather than performing a command.
For example, I bound `Shift+Up` to `line_up`. When I press Shift+Up I just get `A` entered in the terminal. I also tried binding `Control+PageDown` to `next_tab`, but it inserts `;5~`. Some standard keybindings work, like `Shift+Control+T` does create a new tab. I also added `Shift+PageUp` to `page_up` and it does work.
I've edited the bindings via `Preferences`.
I'm using Terminator 0.98 (via apt-get) on Kubuntu 16.04. I use multiple keyboard layouts. If I switch to the "default" layout (the top in the list in keyboard config), then the keyboard shortcuts work. If I switch to the alternate one then they do not. It doesn't appear to matter which keyboard layouts are used, if I modify the order it reverses which one works.

Unfortunately 0.98 is kind of ancient at this point. Can you test with the head of the gtk3 series? FYI I tried adding two keyboard layouts in KDE, and configured Ctrl+Up for single line up, and it worked with both layouts.
