Hi!

I'm a user of the Kakoune editor. One of its features is multiple selections,
that is, multiple cursors each selecting a different region of text.

To manually place a new selection, we can use Ctrl + Left mouse click. It works
well on every terminal I've tested so far except Konsole, which seems to not
send the corresponding event to Kakoune.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Install any recent version of Kakoune (the version in your distro repo
should do the job, albeit colors will only work properly on Konsole with the
last Kakoune's release: version 2021.08.28; this bug can be reproduced also in
previous versions though)

2. Run `kak` in Konsole; it will open a scratch buffer

3. Press `Ctrl+Left click` on any word in that scratch buffer

OBSERVED RESULT

The cursor jumps to the word pointed by the mouse as if the `Ctrl` modifier is
not pressed.

EXPECTED RESULT

A new cursor should be created at the mouse position, adding to the cursor
already present when Kakoune starts, resulting in two cursors.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 21.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Also tested on Opensuse Tumbleweed with Konsole 21.08.1.

Tweaking settings in `Settings -> Edit current profile -> Mouse ->
Miscellaneous` doesn't take any effect on the observed behaviour.

Terminal emulators I can attest `Ctrl+Left click` works properly:  Kitty,
Alacritty, Gnome Terminal, Wezterm.
