Description

When using **Wayland**, trying to select text with the keyboard by pressing Shift+ just moves the IP to the left without selecting text. This is observable in gnome-text-editor, gedit and Firefox. Works in Chromium.

Pressing the Alt key won't activate the menu. Pressing Alt+2 outputs `2` instead of nothing.

Ubuntu 24.04 (Wayland)
Keyman 18.0.60
