Upgraded Kitty to 0.34.1 - hints kitten with regex target not working

[cwaldbieser]

Describe the bug I have the following custom mapping in my kitty config: # Select an image file with the hints kitten and open it in an overlay window. map ctrl+shift+p>i kitten hints --program "launch --type=overlay kitty +kitten icat --hold" --type regex --regex "(?i)\S+[.](?:jpg|jpeg|gif|png|tiff|bmp)" It allows me to CTRL+SHIFT+p then i - selects any image file on the terminal and opens the image with the icat kitten in an overlay window.

However, after upgrading to kitty 0.34.1, despite having several .jog files on the terminal screen, the CTRL+SHIFT+p > i sequence elicits:

Error: No matches found

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. add the above mapping to a kitty config
2. cd to a folder with images
3. press the command mapping CTRL+SHIFT+p > i
4. Error message is displayed

upgrading from what version?

[cwaldbieser]

I want to say 0.29.something ... I believe I got 2 upgrade notices I put off before upgrading today. Is there some way to check if I just installed right over the previous install?

[cwaldbieser]

The last issue I opened was #6315 on May 30, 2023. Looks like the next release after that was 0.29.0, which I believe was the last release I installed.

The parsing of map has changed to accommodate advanced keyboard modes, you need to double up the backslash in your pattern.
