Cannot select text with `End` key on numpad

[loziniak]

On my laptop, when I want to select text to end of line by holding Shift and pressing End, the one on numpad, with NumLock not active, does not work, so I have to use combination Shift + Fn + →. (Fn + → == End on my laptop)

Numpad End and Home buttons work normally without Shift, when navigating through text.

Platform: Dell Lattitude 5580 Manjaro Linux cudatext 1.143.0.0 from AUR

More info. Linux apps Gedit and Kate have problems with this too (it's Linux problem). Also I cannot provide workaround, tried this today. Currently you can only try the fix like in https://github.com/Alexey-T/CudaText/issues/1703#issuecomment-441083709 - using xmodmap reassign keys:

from:

keycode 79 = KP_Home KP_7 KP_Home KP_7 keycode 87 = KP_End KP_1 KP_End KP_1

to:

keycode 79 = Home KP_7 Home KP_7 keycode 87 = End KP_1 End KP_1
