colon doesn't work

[10b14224cc]

Describe the bug

I installed kitty-git to test https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/pull/7107.

I have an italian keyboard, so I type colon : with SHIFT+..

I can type the colon in kitty terminal.

I can type colon in WezTerm.

I can type colon in neovim within WezTerm.

I cannot type colon in neovim within kitty.

Instead, when I'm in insert mode, an empty box is displayed instead of SHIFT, and a sort of bell when I press . to make the colon ::

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open neovim
2. Press SHIFT+.
3. In normal mode, nothing happens

Screenshots See above

Additional context Try to reproduce the problem with kitty --config NONE if you cannot then post a minimal kitty.conf that reproduces the problem. If the problem involves interaction with some other terminal program post a minimal config for that program to reproduce the problem as well.

Still happening with kitty --config NONE.

Still happening with nvim --clean.

Report the issue to neovim. It will be a bug in its kitty keyboard protocol integration.

Actually I think I messed up my installation between stable release, git release and vt branch.

Is there a way to completely uninstall kitty?

I think I have leftovers from previous installations.

If you are using the official binaries its self contained. Simply delete the directory it is installed in.
