    Description

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Select the Alphanumeric mode in Google Japanese IME on a Mac.
      2. Assign the key combination Ctrl+Backspace to an editor function, for example DeleteStartOfWordCamelCase.
      3. Press ctrl-backspace with the cursor in some text.

      Expected result: delete backwards by camelCase.
      Actual result: nothing happens.

      This has been a problem for me for at least 1 year probably 2+.

      I rebuilt Creator and did some experiments. When the shortcut is not set, the QKeyEvent passed to TextEditorWidget::keyPressEvent() seems identical using both Google IME and the Mac default 'kotoeri', as far as I can see using the debugger.

      I believe that the ctrl-backspace event gets to QWindowSystemInterface::handleShortcutEvent() but does not continue to QShortcutMap::tryShortcut(). Looking at the source I would guess that an event filter somewhere is accepting the QEvent::ShortcutOverride, but I am not sure.

      This issue is possible related to QTBUG-57934 and/or QTBUG-53804.
