I have a lot of respect for Kitty's uncompromisingly opinionated design, standing apart from the rest (for better or worse). IME the notorious issue with tapping ESC is a major bummer, and Kitty is right not to settle for the status quo -- with impressively wide support too!

Please explain to me how to do what I asked--"selection while holding shift"--with any terminal other than one that supports the kitty protocol.

I'll wait ...

(It's this kind of basic stuff that doesn't work that makes me absolutely laugh my ass off when people claim that "AI will take all the programming jobs".)

What problems is it introducing?
