I'm guessing QT ignores ctrl because it isn't on the standard keyboard.
Most Android apps know about ctrl- zxcv.  They also respond to keys like
Home and End, that are on the Hacker's keyboard.

Perhaps I'm just ancient, but I'd prefer JConsole for writing code and
thinking through problems.  It honors everything I've mentioned, as do
Chrome and Jota+ (my other favorites).
