[racket] Custom Keybindings - Editor Insert Poofed

That is the frame. Generally speaking, the first argument is the
object that has the keyboard focus at the moment when you type the
key. I'm not sure why the frame would have the focus and not the
definitions text, tho. If you type other keys, do you see them appear
in the definitions text? And is the insertion point (a vertical bar of
the same height as a line of text) blinking?

FWIW, you can test for this with (is-a? editor frame%), but you
probably want to rename that variable if that's the right answer. :)
