  • Currently kitty cannot select scrollback text via shortcut keys.
  • If you need to select text by shift+left when typing commands in the shell, you should configure the shell with the shortcuts.
  • If you are using a text editor or other program, you should configure the shortcuts in the corresponding program.
  • You can define shortcuts in kitty to send another key combination.

If you are using ssh and the keys are not working properly, upgrade to the latest release version and make sure TERMINFO is installed correctly.
