How To Bind a Key to Sending a Custom Escape Code (Text Binding)?

[VehementHam]

I have custom keybindings in ZSH, that involve things like Ctrl + Shift + <letter>. Bindings like this do not send unique escape codes. To work around this, I define text bindings. Here is a an example for the foot terminal:

[text-bindings]
\x1b[1;2F = Shift+KP_End
\x1b[1;2H = Shift+KP_Home

\x1b[27;6;65~ = Control+Shift+a
\x1b[27;6;66~ = Control+Shift+b
#\x1b[27;6;67~ = Control+Shift+c
\x1b[27;6;68~ = Control+Shift+d
\x1b[27;6;69~ = Control+Shift+e
\x1b[27;6;70~ = Control+Shift+f
\x1b[27;6;71~ = Control+Shift+g
\x1b[27;6;72~ = Control+Shift+h
\x1b[27;6;73~ = Control+Shift+i
\x1b[27;6;74~ = Control+Shift+j
\x1b[27;6;75~ = Control+Shift+k
\x1b[27;6;76~ = Control+Shift+l
\x1b[27;6;77~ = Control+Shift+m
#\x1b[27;6;78~ = Control+Shift+n
#\x1b[27;6;79~ = Control+Shift+o
\x1b[27;6;80~ = Control+Shift+p
\x1b[27;6;81~ = Control+Shift+q
#\x1b[27;6;82~ = Control+Shift+r
\x1b[27;6;83~ = Control+Shift+s
\x1b[27;6;84~ = Control+Shift+t
#\x1b[27;6;85~ = Control+Shift+u
#\x1b[27;6;86~ = Control+Shift+v
\x1b[27;6;87~ = Control+Shift+w
\x1b[27;6;88~ = Control+Shift+x
#\x1b[27;6;89~ = Control+Shift+y
\x1b[27;6;90~ = Control+Shift+z

How do I do this in Kitty?

This is in the kitty FAQ.

[VehementHam]

I do not see it in the FAQ.

https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/faq/#how-do-i-map-key-presses-in-kitty-to-different-keys-in-the-terminal-program Read the actual text not just the heading.

[VehementHam]

Is it this?

Which will print out what key events it receives. To send arbitrary text rather than a key press, see send_text instead.

[VehementHam]

Okay so I did this:

map ctrl+shift+a send_text ^[[27;6;65

But when I run cat, and press Ctrl + Shift + a, the escape code is ^[[97;6u, instead of ^[[27;6;65.

I suggest you actually read the documentation and understand it. You are missing the modes in which the text is to be sent and your syntax for specifying the bytes in incorrect.

[VehementHam]

I'm sorry, but what do you mean by "modes" and "bytes," to what documentation specifically, are you refering to?

[VehementHam]

Could you tell me what documentation I need to read?
