Keyboard-based text selection, i.e. using shift and the arrow keys) worked in Numeric inputs using Elm 0.18/5.2.1 (and, I assume also BigNumber and Float), but it does not work in 0.19/5.2.2. When pressing e.g. Shift+Left, nothing happens. This is because the code ends up calling preventDefault when shift is pressed. This seems deliberate (since handling of shift differs from ctrl/alt/meta), so maybe this breaks something else that I'm not noticing, but changing the code so that preventDefault isn't called fixes keyboard selection.
