Description

For example, consider the "Package Source" text field in the Package Manager. Pressing CMD+Left/Right is supposed to move the caret to the beginning/end of the text field, but it does not. Same for CMD+Shift+Left/Right (which is supposed to select text from the starting point to the beginning/end of the text field).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Package Manager's “Package Source” text field with CMD+Left/Right and CMD+Shift+Left/Right, then trace the text-field keyboard handling used by DrRacket. Done means these shortcuts move the caret to the beginning or end and select from the current position to that boundary across the affected text fields.
