@ -3968,8 +3968,8 @@ when pressing specified shortcut keys. For example::
map ctrl+alt+a send_text all Special text
This will send "Special text" when you press the :kbd:`Ctrl+Alt+A` key
combination. The text to be sent is a python string literal so you can use
escapes like :code:`\\\\x1b` to send control codes or :code:`\\\\u21fb` to send
combination. The text to be sent decodes :link:`ANSI C escapes <https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/ANSI_002dC-Quoting.html>`
so you can use escapes like :code:`\\\\x1b` to send control codes or :code:`\\\\u21fb` to send
Unicode characters (or you can just input the Unicode characters directly as
UTF-8 text). You can use ``kitty +kitten show_key`` to get the key escape
codes you want to emulate.
