My ctrl+semicolon (ctrl+;) key seems combination to have been bound to some sort of broken auto-complete program. Whenever I am in typing mode(in terminal, nano, etc), my ctrl+;) combination is bound to this program. I have no idea what it is. How do I identify and stop this?

The problem is caused by an addon in fcitx named Clipboard. To disable it, simply open Fcitx Configuration -> Addon -> Clipboard, then either disable it or change its trigger key.

I had the same issue with Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid and Gnome 42. It was driving me nuts since I had Ctrl-; bound in Emacs. I could not find the binding defined anywhere. Then, I ran,

gsettings list-recursively | grep -i "semi"

Lo and behold: org.freedesktop.ibus.panel.emoji hotkey ['<Control>period', '<Control>semicolon'].

Appending to irritation of modern hieroglyphs, I ran,

gsettings set org.freedesktop.ibus.panel.emoji hotkey []

That freed the keybinding.
