It would help to have a little extra info:

- is this in terminal vim or gvim, or both?

- you mention that it doesn't happen in other applications, does that
include the terminal (this is tied to the previous question)?
This would show whether the fault lies in the terminal emulator
(weird, but possible). You might even try an alternate terminal
emulator (xterm, rxvt, etc) and see if the behavior persists.

- are you pressing "t" or shift+T (you show a capital T)? If it's
just "t", does pressing shift+T get you whatever your keyboard
shows above the "7"? (on my keyboard, that's an ampersand, "&")

- does it happen just in Insert mode, Normal mode, or both? (in
Normal mode, "T" followed by a letter moves the cursor backwards on
the current line to just after the previous match of the letter you
typed after the "T" as detailed at ":help T")

- if you come in with another device with a different keyboard
(whether a USB keyboard, or via SSH from another machine), does it
exhibit the same behavior?

- does the output of ":map" or ":map!" include anything that might be
remapping your "T"?

I don't see anything spurious in your vimrc.
