Multiple notes can now be selected with keyboard, by pressing Shift+A…

Previously, for everything that operated on multiple notes (copying, irregular groupings, let ring, palm mute, etc ...), those notes had to be selected by mouse.

Now one does not have to leave the keyboard, but can instead start selecting with Shift+Alt (Shift+Opt on macOS), and then navigate the caret left or right using the arrow keys to extend the selection.

Note: I have only tested this on a macbook.

Thank for looking at it so quickly, @cameronwhite ! I will go through your comments later.

This is in fact my first contribution to Open Source - I am a working developer, but have not found any obvious project I could/wanted to contribute to until just now :) Long ago, the power tab forums were my safe haven, and it's really cool that you started reviving my favorite tab editor.

Also, as my day job only involves Objective-C, Swift, and Java, I have to admit that I am not very experienced in the two main players in this project:

• C++-only knowledge: basic/low medium (but I would say proficient, not expert, in C)
• Qt knowledge before looking at this: nonexistent (forgot everything from some beginner tutorial years ago 😅)

But I hope I can pick those, along with familiarization with the actual project, up quickly to do some helpful work.

That's great! Always nice to hear from people that were on the old forums :)
