Description

The normal behaviour on OSX is that one can use Ctrl-K to delete to end of the line when editing text fields. This is also mentioned in the Qt docs http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qlineedit.html as normal behaviour for QLineEdit and other edit fields. For some reason this doesn't work in Tiled with OSX 10.11.
