Sending ^V/lnext to the shell

[dumain]

I like all my apps to use the same keys for copy and paste. Since most GUI apps use CTRL-C and CTRL-V for copy and paste I want kitty to do the same. This is easy enough to set up in kitty however I would also like kitty to send the
lnext character(CTRL-V) to the shell when I type CTRL-SHIFT-V. i've tried map ctrl+shift+v send_text \x16 and map ctrl+shift+v no_op but pressing CTRL-SHIFT-V produces no effect. any clues? This works more or less automagically with qterminal but it is otherwise not as powerful as kitty. currently using kitty 0.20.3 from guix

You need to use the correct syntax for send_text. See the docs for it.

Thanks I now have: map ctrl+shift+v send_text all \x16 and it works.
