Unfortunately you don't mention which platform you're on, which matters 
in cases like this. I've tested it on X11 and am seeing in my opinion 
very strange behaviour, but it's consistent when comparing Qt (Creator), 
GTK (gedit) and SWT (Eclipse) applications

With Num Lock ON:

Normally numbers work, but when used with Shift, the Home/End/etc. keys 
work and do selection.

With Num Lock OFF:

The Home/End keys now work, but when used with Shift, numbers are 
inserted instead.

To me this is backwards, I would expect either numbers or Home/End to 
work, and not that it changes again based on whether I have Shift 
pressed. However, seeing as this is how basically my whole desktop 
behaves, I don't see a good reason to change either Qt's or Qt Creator's 
behaviour.

Bjørn
