Use the option key as an alt key. With this set to :code:`no`, kitty will use
the macOS native :kbd:`Option+Key` = unicode character behavior. This will break
any :kbd:`Alt+key` keyboard shortcuts in your terminal programs, but you can use
the macOS unicode input technique. You can use the values: :code:`left`,
:code:`right`, or :code:`both` to use only the left, right or both Option keys
as Alt, instead. Changing this setting by reloading the config is not supported.

but you can use the macOS unicode input technique. You can use the values:
:code:`left`, :code:`right`, or :code:`both` to use only the left, right or both
:kbd:`Option` keys as :kbd:`Alt`, instead. Note that kitty itself always treats
:kbd:`Option` the same as :kbd:`Alt`. This means you cannot use this setting to
configure different kitty shortcuts for :kbd:`Option+Key` vs. `:kbd:`Alt+Key`.
Also, any kitty shortcuts using :kbd:`Option/Alt+Key` will take priority, so
that any such key presses will not be passed to terminal programs running inside
kitty. Changing this setting by reloading the config is not supported.
