Can't override default keymaps on MacOS

[doubledup]

Describe the bug Remapping the default keymaps for MacOS doesn't take, eg. cmd+t won't remap to open with cwd.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Ensure kitty.conf only contains map cmd+t new_tab_with_cwd.
2. Restart kitty.
3. Go to a different directory than the default.
4. Push cmd+t.
5. A new tab opens in the default directory instead of the current directory.

Screenshots None.

Additional context This holds wherever a key combination is used as the default MacOS keymaps. cmd+t and cmd+n don't remap, but cmd+l and cmd+o do. Set kitty.conf to:

map cmd+t new_tab_with_cwd
map cmd+n new_os_window_with_cwd
map cmd+l new_tab_with_cwd
map cmd+o new_os_window_with_cwd

and cmd+t/n won't preserve the current directory, but cmd+l/o will. The env details above were captured with this config, and they show that cmd+t and cmd+n aren't mapped to the *_with_cwd commands.

I'm also having this issue on Ubuntu with kitty 0.32.1

Repro:

# mini-kitty.conf
map ctrl+shift+s>h launch --location=hsplit

• kitty --config mini-kitty.conf
• press ctrl+shift+s

Expected:

• await h keypress to activate split

Actual:

• paste from selection (default keymap)
