[Lazarus] Text selection with numeric keypad on Linux

[Bernd Mueller]

Hello,

on Windows the text selection is possible via the numeric keypad in 
conjunction with the Shift key. For example Shift-End  selects the text 
from the current cursor position to the end of the line.

But this does not work on Linux (Ubuntu 8x, 10x in my case). The Lazarus 
editor seems to ignore the key combination.

I tried then to extend the Key Mappings for the "Select line end" 
command with an alternative key. So I "grabbed" the key combination 
Shift-End and saved the settings. But the editor behavior did not change.

BTW there is a difference between Windows and Linux, when I use the 
"Grab key" feature. When I press Shift-End on Linux, the dialog 
recognizes only the Numpad 1 key. On Windows, the correct key 
combination (Shift-End) is shown.

Any hints, how I can enable the desired text selection on Linux?

Thanks. Regards, Bernd.
