    editor: Support shift-left/right for selecting text

    If the shift modifier is active then we don't make the cursor and the
    anchor the same and as a result we develop a selection in the direction
    that the arrow key gets pressed in.

Closing this one regardless of the Ctrl-a etc issue.  editor isn't meant to be
a full featured entry widget, and there are many other things we could fix:
home/end doesn't work and of course shift-home/end doesn't work, ctrl-arrows
should move by word, shift-ctrl-pointer select by word etc.  It serves its
purpose of exercising the IM integration however.
