The problem is the C-t i binding isn't in *root-map*, it's in
*group-root-map*. This has caused ongoing confusion for people but I'm
not exactly sure how to improve things or make them easier to use.
Have a look at bindings.lisp to see how things work. There are a
number of top level keymaps that get dynamically combined when a key
is pressed depending on the current group. This makes it rather tricky
to figure out where a binding is coming from.
