Demonstration of control characters in window search
SUMMARY
Typing things like ^A, ^S, etc. in the Present Windows effect makes control
characters. They show up as "no font glyph" tofu boxes, except for whitespace
control characters which insert whitespace just like in the terminal. ^J even
makes a newline!
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the Present Windows effect.
2. Type control-letters.
OBSERVED RESULT
It actually enters control characters.
EXPECTED RESULT
It either invokes shortcuts bound to whatever key you pressed (if there are
any, which normally there probably aren't) or does nothing.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 21.10
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This doesn't happen with the Overview effect, since that uses a regular search
bar instead of the just-start-typing thing.
