  New problem: When I do that, and then press ctrl-s to start a search
and press the key combination in question, rather than inserting { in
the search area at the bottom of the window, it instead cancels the
search and inserts the { in the current buffer, as if I hadn't started a
search at all.

  Why is it doing that?
