Describe the bug
This is a regression. I have

map alt+w           new_tab

in my config. After upgrading to 0.20.1, it's not working anymore. It works with kitty_mod though

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
put this in your config, restart kitty and try to press alt+w to see if it creates a new tab or not

map alt+w           new_tab

Expected behavior
New tab should be created with the mappings defined

Environment details
OS: Name and version of operating system(s)

No, it isnt.

This is an Apple bug. You will note that using alt+w for new_tab will
cause the shortcut for new tab in the window menu to change to alt+w.
However, pressing alt+w does not actually trigger that menu action. The
triggerring of global menu actions is done by the OS not the
application. So I suggest you use a non-alt based shortcut for this,
since Apple doesnt allow alt based shortcuts in the global menubar.

I could possibly prevent alt based shortcuts from being set in the
global menubar, which would workaround the apple bug.
