So I use Terminal on occasionally, enough that this is a bit of a problem: whenever I'm in Terminal (even if I'm in one of the text editors like nano), and I type l/ (for example, when typing a path such as /usr/local/bin), the l/ becomes a space.
For example:
"cd /usr/local/bin"
becomes:
"cd /usr/loca bin " (with that trailing space that I can't get rid of).
It happens in real-time, not just when you send the command, and goes away if you remove the / after the l in question.
This makes it a little difficult to move anywhere in Terminal that has those two characters together. I don't have any idea what caused it; I don't think I changed anything (knowingly) to make it happen. I've rebooted several times since it first showed up, have restarted Terminal, logged out and back in, and all the basic tricks.
I'd greatly appreciate it if someone knows what's happening here- thanks in advance.
