Add --allow-fallback option to the map command that controls shifted and ascii (alternate_key) fallback for individual key mappings. For non-Latin keyboard layouts, when the current layout key is non-ascii (codepoint > 127 and < 0xE000), the alternate_key from the base layout is used for matching if the mapping opts in via --allow-fallback=shifted,ascii. Default kitty bindings use --allow-fallback=shifted,ascii so they work out of the box with non-Latin layouts. User custom mappings default to --allow-fallback=shifted (preserving existing shifted_key behavior without ascii fallback). --allow-fallback=none disables all fallback for a mapping. Python side: parse_options_for_map() in options/utils.py handles flag parsing, ShortcutMapping uses it in __init__. get_shortcut() filters candidates by per-mapping allow_fallback. Go side: ParseMap() handles --allow-fallback, KeyAction stores AllowFallback, ShortcutTracker.Match passes it to matching. MatchesParsedShortcut defaults to shifted,ascii for hardcoded shortcuts. Migrated kittens (themes, command_palette, diff, choose_files) to use ShortcutTracker with configurable map entries. Tests added for Python (5 test methods) and Go (ParseMap + key matching).
This folder contains library and utility code for the various "kittens". Small terminal programs compiled statically for doing things like kitty remote control, icat etc. These are often re-implementations of earlier kittens that were written in Python.
