[Qt-creator] minor editing inconveniences

Dear developers,

Here's a few more suggestions.  Thanks for dealing with all this  
feedback!

Ctrl+arrow jumps by one word; good.  But Ctrl+Shift+arrow does not  
select+jump by one word as you would therefore expect; it selects 
+moves by one character.  (I'm on a Mac, but when I say "Ctrl" I  
really do mean "Ctrl," not "Cmd.")

I run my program with Command+R and the Application Output zone  
appears, but does not scroll to the bottom by itself, so I have to do  
it myself to see the output of this particular run.  (I see an older  
run at the top.)  Sometimes.  If I've already scrolled to the bottom  
myself once, though, it stays there.  I think.

How to reproduce a funny visual artifact bug:  Place cursor at  
beginning of line.  Press shift + down arrow a few times.  Press Cmd+C  
for copy.  Move down with down arrow, and of course the former  
selection is no longer selected.  However, a block of highlighting  
remains on just the right 10 columns or so.  (I'm using a fixed-width  
font with an editor width of about 110 columns, and word wrap at 95  
columns.)  That erroneous highlit block (of nothing, because my lines  
don't actually contain 100+ characters of code) goes away when I paste  
with Cmd+V.

Nathan
