You should use the provided BOM generators, or write your own. I recommend exporting BOM to csv, and opening it in Libreoffice. Then you can pretty print it.
When you generate the BOM from eeschema, the dialog box lists a number
of BOM generator scripts.? ?Did you pick one of them?
I do have my own scripts if you are interested, but they date back to
stone-age Kicad in that they use a tool called xsltproc.? ?These days
Kicad uses Python scripts.
BTW, I use a pivot table to create a grouped BOM from a simple CSV list,
as personally I found that better than trying to do the grouping in the
script.? ?Things may have improved in kicad since I got this working,
but what I have works, so I'm not going to fix it!

Robert
