How to copy text using similar shortcut to ctrl+shift+p <x>

[Praful]

Ctrl+shift+p <x> is a useful way of copying something on the screen to the prompt or opening a file or going to a URL.

Is there a way to copy the text to the clipboard instead of pasting it to the prompt?

For example, ctrl+shift+p l shows a key next to each line. Pressing the key pastes the line to the prompt. Instead of pasting to prompt could it be copied to clipboard using a similar shortcut? For example, ctrl+shift+c l could copy line to clipboard and ctrl+shift+c w could copy word to clipboard, etc.

Also is there a way to change the highlighted key colour foreground/background to pick the word, line, URL etc when
you press ctrl+shift+p <x>? It's not very legible in my terminal.

How can I set the hints foreground/background for all commands? Or do I have to add it to each shortcut?

Use --program "@" to copy to clipboard instead of pasting to prompt. Add to kitty.conf:

map ctrl+shift+c>l kitten hints --type=line --program "@"
map ctrl+shift+c>w kitten hints --type=word --program "@"
map ctrl+shift+c>u kitten hints --type=url --program "@"

For global hint colors, use action_alias:

action_alias hints_copy kitten hints --program "@" --hints-foreground-color white --hints-background-color blue
map ctrl+shift+c>l hints_copy --type=line

@kovidgoyal and @anntnzrb TVM for the help.

Is there a way of having multiple aliases on a line? I'd like to define an alias for hint_copy, hint_paste and hint_colors and use them together or separately. For example, this doesn't work:

action_alias hints_colors --hints-foreground-color black --hints-background-color yellow
action_alias hints_paste kitten hints --program "-" hints_colors
action_alias hints_copy kitten hints --program "@" hints_colors

map alt+p>l hints_paste --type line
map alt+p>u kitten hints --type=url hints_colors
