1. Implement "report alternate keys" from the Kitty Keyboard Protocol …

   The "report alternate keys" part of the Kitty keyboard protocol will
   send an additional codepoint containing the "shifted" version of a
   key based on the keyboard layout. This is useful for downstream
   applications which set up keybindings based on symbols instead of
   exact keys being pressed.
   
   For example, underscore (_) with the Alt modifier is sent as minus (-)
   with Alt and Shift modifiers. A terminal will send the underscore
   codepoint as an alternate though, and we can use that information and
   the presence of the Shift modifier to resolve the symbol. Other
   examples are 'A-(' (sent as 'A-S-9') and 'A-)' (sent as 'A-S-0').
   
   This change allows pushing the "report alternate keys" flag and
   overwrites the keycode and modifiers for any shifted keys sent by the
   terminal.
