That's the thing. I forget to switch to normal mode, it just locks up. The default behavior is the backspace in insert mode, but that's not what it's doing. I'll try to remember to post my mappings.

Yeah. It's not backspacing either. Just locks up.
I'd like to figure out that mapping. I do this all the time. I forget I'm in insert mode, try to move the curser with 'j' and just end up typing a bunch of j's that I have to delete.
I think I'm on the trail. According to this post on Reddit, some terminal emulators have trouble passing the correct codes to terminal apps like Neovim. I did manage to break C-H completely, but that's not really helpful. By adding the following keybinds to alacritty.yml, I'm getting Neovim to behave differently, but not as expected.
The first one for S-F6, gets Neovim to recognize the 'F6' part, but does not behave any differently than if I just pressed 'F6' without the modifier. But, without this key binding in alacritty.yml, Neovim doesn't react to Shift+F6 at all.
The second entry, if I'm in Insert Mode in Neovim, causes Neovim to switch to Normal Mode and go to the top of the buffer. In normal mode, it just goes to the top of the buffer instead of the defined behavior of moving to the pane to the left of the current pane.
So, I've basically managed to get a "different error", but not solve the problem. Any ideas?
