Win key

[dalvand]

Hello,
When I press Win key in kitty, it prints 362;3u
Is this expected? What does it mean? How can I disable it?
It seems to conflict with vifm and I was wondering if I can diable it.
Thank you

That is the encoding of the key in the kitty keyboard protocol. It happens when the application running in the terminal requests that protocol be used. If vifm or whatever is making that request stops doing it, you wont see that.

I am not running any application in kitty and it prints 362;3u with a Win key-press. I tried killing and re-executing kitty, and it still prints 362;3u when I press Win key. If I run vifm in the kitty, then it prints [57362;3u by a Win key-press.
Does kitty have any configuration related to Win key that might be causing this?

No it doesnt, and you cant be not running any application in kitty, since if you dont run something kitty will just close.

I run kitty using this command from xfce4-terminal:

/home/Apps/kitty/bin/kitty --config /home/kitty/kitty_all.conf &

I opens up a kitty window. Then I press Win key. I hear a beep and it then prints 362;3u

Yes, that means you are running a shell in kitty.

If I run xfce4-terminal, it doesn't print anything with Win key-press. Same with xterm.
Only kitty prints 362;3u with win key.

Yes, because neither of those terminal support the kitty keyboard protocol. I'm afraid I have spent enough time on this. You need to figure out what in your shell rc files is turning on the kitty keyboard protocol and disable it. Good luck.
