Yes. Konsole is a terminal emulator. The original terminals did not have arrow 
buttons or pgup and pgdown. When these buttons where invented they were sent 
to terminal applications using short-cuts. The arrows are often send as a 
CTRL+A - CTRL+D if I remember correctly, but there is no standard for how 
these buttons are send when modified. Therefore it is safe to intercept 
special buttons when modified like Shift+Left or CTRL+PageUp.
