Kitty and other smart terminals send a specific CSI u control code for these shifted special keys, which are interpreted as a no-op by the editor component. These should send the underlying key instead, matching the behaviour of other TUI programs (e.g. readline, vim insert mode). On less smart terminals, these key combinations are the same as the non-shifted versions, and so already work with the existing code.
