keybindings with esc do not work (for me)

[adsick]

I'm started messing up with Helix config and would like to have a way of quickly saving&escaping everything, and I'd like to perform Shift-esc for that, but this doesn't work for some reason:

when I press Shift+esc it simply does nothing.

It could be Gnome intercepting certain key-combinations or it may be something with Alacritty.
Can anyone test this on your system? I've found that C-S-esc doesn't work either.

OS: Fedora 35

Similar to #1369, this is a limitation of the terminal. Try showkey -a and press Esc and Shift+Esc, they can't be differentiated and both produce this keycode:

$ showkey -a

Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program

^[ 	27 0033 0x1b
^[ 	27 0033 0x1b

Again ,unless Helix support Kitty terminal's Keyboard handling protocol, there is nothing we can do to fix this.

Yeah, I see. It means the better to input is listening to keyboard events like 'KeyPressed(scancode)' and 'KeyReleased(scancode)', can we do that?
