I'm aware from this forum post that there is a bug associated with the Alt+E key sequence. It's a very ergonomic bind that could be used for many things.
Is there any way around this annoying little bug?

To close-voters: This is not a bug report, but rather asks for possible workarounds around an existing bug. IMO that's not [ÖT](https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/41654339#41654339). – dessert Feb 04 '18 at 09:19

The AU question has five answers – what do you mean? – dessert Feb 05 '18 at 07:08

I just found the most useful program in my entire life.
It's called AutoKey,
To install sudo apt-get install autokey-gtk
Learn it; it's quite simple.
Then hack away at getting around annoying key bugs or limitations.
For example in this case:
Just bind Alt+E to a sequence you will never use like: Ctrl+Shift+Alt+f12
