alt-cmd-i inserts ⁄ into the document on OS X

[palant]

I am using Atom 1.2.0-beta3 on OS X 10.10. The keyboard shortcut alt-cmd-i is supposed to open the Developer Tools - and it does. However, it also inserts the character ⁄ into the document. The code comments claim that preventDefault() is called on the event if a bounding is found - that doesn't seem to be the case. The code only calls preventDefault() for abort! and successfully stops ⁄ from being inserted - but the Developer Tools aren't being opened either then.

I am reproducing this, though for me it's inserting a ^. Super annoying. It's happening even if i preventDefault or stopPropagation in the keymap system, so I'm still trying to figure out what's going on.

I'd say ditch atom and go for either sublime or visual studio code. I had to face lot of issues while starting out with atom, I'm glad I ditched it long ago.
