Command-Shift-Left and Command-Shift-Right are the (even more) standard shortcuts for selecting to the beginning and end of line, respectively. That's something so historical that I really don't want to change it.

Well if you keep [], we'll need to have arrows as the 2nd shortcuts.

This is the likely reason why Qt has swapped Qt::CTRL and Qt::META by default on that platform, but Konsole deactivates that feature. As a result, shortcuts are identical to what they are on other platforms, but not in line with what's standard on OS X.

There is an added benefit of not using the Control key for shortcuts: `Copy` can be the usual `Command-C` instead of `Ctrl-Shift-C` on other platforms; idem for the `Paste` shortcut. I've adapted the shortcuts of a few other actions to the key combinations OS X uses for those actions.
