Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1848

What happened?

when in a text field, shift+left selects one character to the left, shift+ctrl+left one word to the left, and so on

when pressing shift+home and shift+end in the other device, it only acts as home or end, so no text selection occurs

i can reproduce this on google docs and gedit

This seems to be a Wayland on Fedora 37 issue and not a Barrier issue, closing
