<a-u> should be U and vice versa

Complaints & Improvements

since alt is used to reverse the direction of the motion in commands like f and t, and shift is used to deal with extend (basicly selection) like in all other commands

I would like hiding that change behind an option to give people time to adapt to it, and a few versions afterward make the default of kakoune to use <a-u> for redo and U for undo selection.
and so u stays the same and <a-U> does the same thing (alt for redo the last edit, shift for selection rather than edits)

I apologise if that wasted your time, but I thought it was a somewhat better idea.

There was a similar issue for long word text object. <s-w> has moved to <a-w>.

Should I report that on github?

I think yes. It might be a good change to add.
