-  When this property is set to Qt::VisualMoveStyle, the line edit will use visual
-  movement style. Pressing the left arrow key will always cause the cursor to move
-  left, regardless of the text's writing direction. The same behavior applies to
-  right arrow key.
-
-  When the property is Qt::LogicalMoveStyle (the default), within a LTR text block,
-  increase cursor position when pressing left arrow key, decrease cursor position
-  when pressing the right arrow key. If the text block is right to left, the opposite
-  behavior applies.
