I cannot type a capital P on my Terminal, it automatically changes to "## adjust to taste".

I deleted all keyboard mappings under Terminal Preferences. I also reset all the Keyboard Mappings under System Preferences to their default values.

What else can I do? It is really annoying trying to avoid P's

Check and/or delete your ~/.inputrc file. It's hidden, press Cmd-Shift-. in an Open File dialog to make it visible.
