Describe the bug kitty.conf has macos_option_as_alt left to ensure Opt+b et al behave like Alt+b et al on Mac OS. And they do work as expected unless CAPS_LOCK is on. In which case they behave as if the setting is macos_option_as_alt no i.e. you get diacritics as output.
To confirm I'm not expecting anything out of the ordinary here, I tried in iTerm 2 and it behaved as I would've expected, so I'm guessing it is a bug with how kitty handles CAPS_LOCK mod.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
macos_option_as_alt left on OSX in your kitty.conf
try Opt+b or Opt+f and confirm they move cursor by word back and forth
toggle CAPS_LOCK to ON
try Opt+b or Opt+f and see diacritic chars printed out to terminal
To confirm that is indeed what's happening here's the output of kitty --debug-keyboard that captures both cases with CAPS_LOCK on and off and the output does appear to confirm the claim above. Compare and contrast:
kitty --debug-keyboard without CAPS_LOCK
