I’ve just recently setup a new laptop and shift+space doesn’t send a space character. I’m on Apple (M1), using iTerm, and I built kak
from source. Any pointers?
iTerm supports a new protocol that allows Kakoune to map more keystrokes than the traditional terminal keyboard protocol allows. In particular, it allows Kakoune to distinguish <space>
and <s-space>
. Unfortunately, as a result <s-space>
doesn’t produce the same result as <space>
.
If your Kakoune is newer than 2021-12-11, you should be able to map global insert <s-space> <space>
(and what ever other modes you want to make that mapping in).
