With NumLock enabled, selecting whole words at a time breaks (i.e. {#Control(Shift(Left))} and {#Control(Shift(Right))})

Describe the bug

Between plover-4.0.0.dev10 and plover-4.0.0.dev12, {#Control(Shift(Left))} and {#Control(Shift(Right))} functionality seems to have been broken (I have not checked plover-4.0.0.dev11).

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Define strokes for {#Control(Shift(Left))} and {#Control(Shift(Right))}
  2. With NumLock enabled, use those strokes to attempt to select text
  3. Cursor is moved across whole words but text is not selected

Expected behavior
{#Control(Shift(Left))} and {#Control(Shift(Right))} moves cursor across whole words while selecting text.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding the screenshots, but it seems that NumLock is enabled on both tests. Sometimes having NumLock on can interfere with Plover (see here: #1531). I'd suggest trying the strokes after turning NumLock off.

Re-ran tests with NumLock off. Output between dev10 and dev12 are now identical.
