Description
Hi there,
With regards to Issue #6068
How do I disable what this issue implemented? With 4.5.3.1, I can't use my ctrl-shift+[left|right] arrows to highlight words or ctrl-shift+[left|right] arrows to move from word to word. With 4.0.10.7 I can. Do I need to downgrade? Is there a configuration setting I can add? Is there a line in the code I can comment out?
My search: While having phpMyAdmin running, I checked the navigation bar options (upper-left), the server bar options (upper-right), the Console options (lower left), the configuration file (config.inc.php), the phpMyAdmin documentation, and have combed Google and StackOverflow. I cannot find anything on disabling or turning off the keyboard navigation controls on the edit page.
The documentation's changelog led me to the issue here, which I commented, but realized it's a closed issue so opened this new one.
Thanks!

Steps to reproduce
- Using phpMyAdmin 4.5.3.1, edit a record.
- With the cursor inside an input or textarea field:
- Try to navigate from word to word using Ctrl-Left or Ctrl-Right.
- Try to select words using Shft-Ctrl-Left or Shft-Ctrl-Right.
Expected behaviour
Using either the Ctrl-Arrow or Shft-Ctrl-Arrow keyboard shortcuts I would expect natural word navigation and word selection.
Actual behaviour
Using either the Ctrl-Arrow or Shft-Ctrl-Arrow keyboard shortcuts will move you from field to field, left to right, unless you're at the right- or left-most columns, in which case the keyboard action does nothing.

Research direction
The issue concerns Ctrl-Arrow and Shift-Ctrl-Arrow handling in the grid editor, but it names no source file or test. Reproduce the behavior in an editable record using the listed steps, then locate the keyboard-navigation entry point and verify that native word navigation and selection work without breaking movement between fields.
