Neovim incompatible keybindings

[scippio]

Describe the bug
When I set the keymap for Super/Win key in my neovim Lua config like that (Win+n):

vim.keymap.set('n','<D-n>','<cmd>echo "it works!"<cr>')

To Reproduce
Add above config into init.lua ...

Expected behavior

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Archlinux
• Display Technology: Wayland

Additional context
It working in kitty terminal without any problems.

It looks like vte is not handling the super (Windows) key the same way that kitty does. This looks like a vte bug. I'll try and diagnose it and open an upstream bug, but I probably won't be able to do it until Monday at the earliest.

Opened https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/2738 and have some interesting input from @egmontkob in there.

The short answer is, there's really no agreement on what to do with <super>-<letter> key combinations, so if you want that key combination to work, the best answer right now is to stick with kitty, as that seems to do what you want in that situation. Not to say that we won't work on it, but it'll probably be a slow process.
