            Bug ID: 478007
           Summary: "Extend selection" series of text field shortcuts do
                    not respect navigation shortcuts set in System
                    Settings
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

SUMMARY
The "extend selection" shortcuts in Qt text input controls (except for certain
applications which implement it themselves such as Kate) are always mapped to
ctrl+shift+left and ctrl+shift+right (and shift+pos1/shift+end and so on). This
works fine as long as you keep the default bindings for text movement
(ctrl+left/right, pos1/end, ...). However, if you rebind them to e.g.
alt+left/right and meta+left/right, the extend selection shortcuts no longer
match up and as far as I can tell there is no way to rebind these separately.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Bind "Backward Word" and "Forward Word" to alt+left and alt+right (in
Shortcuts -> Navigation)
2. Select a normal Qt input field
3. Try alt+shift+left to extend selection backwards a word

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens, as ctrl+shift+left is still the shortcut for that action

EXPECTED RESULT
alt+shift+left selects backwards a word, or there is a separate shortcut you
can set for that like in Kate
