Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the issue in IDA Pro's Functions list and trace how BinDiff registers or handles the Shift-D hotkey alongside IDA's find-as-you-type behavior. Done means typing an uppercase D continues the search without triggering the BinDiff shortcut.
