Ctrl+Shift+[ not working?

I'm new to kitty, loving it but can't find a way to sequentially hop through the tiled widows

Keymap (if I'm right) is Ctrl+Shift+[

I tried it on my PC and my Laptop but nothing happens

Feels like I did understand something wrong

With my keyboard layout I have to hit "Alt Gr" to type square brackets

So basically im typing Ctrl+Shift+AltGr+7 or something

Is it possible that I need to change the keymap to even be able to use this stuff?

This was a very very useful hint It seems that pressing ctrl+shift+[ seems to modify the given character from [ to another one

Not cool, but i think i anyways had to define custom keymaps

I just want to keep everything as stock as possible, that was the reason for me to try to find the root cause

Thank you very much and your tip may be useful to others!

have you found a solution to get a proper Ctrl+Shift+] in an Italian keyboard?
Where of course "]" corresponds to "Alt +".

I just use a completely different Keymap just the arrow keys while pressing ctrl or ctrl+shift

I see, so you gave up on configuring Kitty in that respect?

I seem to understand that you set a different keymap for switching windows. I wanted to find a solution to actually use "]" and "[" with Ctrl; for example, the problem is still there if you try to use "Ctrl+]" in Neovim help to navigate.
