Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

MacOS 10.14.4, qBittorrent 4.1.6 (and previous versions of qBittorrent)

What is the problem

The Home and End keys don't work in the input fields used in qBittorrent.

One example is the Search input field. It is a bit frustrating if you want to jump to the start or end of the line to change a search term.

The Home and End keys work fine in for example the Add Torrent Link window:

Maybe because it is multi-line and therefor handled by a different UI element?

What is the expected behavior

For the Home and End keys to work.

Works as expected in windows and linux. Although we can probably override it in qBt (not me, don't have a Mac to test) i'll reluctantly mark this as a Qt bug (not sure who's fault it is).

@Zapicoyuz is this still an issue with qBittorrent 4.3.4.1 which now uses Qt 5.15.2?

@Kolcha If you don't mind, can you please see if this is reproducible with qBittorrent 4.3.5? (Unsure if Mojave plays a role in this issue too)

tested qBittorrent 4.3.5 (official download) on macOS Catalina on my work MacBook (sorry, I don't have personal MacBook anymore), everything works fine in any text field I tried (including mentioned search field).
used "Command + Left" for "Home" and "Command + Right" for "End" (default shortcuts working in many apps), also tried "Fn + Left/Right" (also may work in some apps) - these shortcuts don't work.
