After using GNU screen for years I have recently started to use Byobu. The F shortcuts
are a bit far for my my liking so I want to use shift/alt - arrow keys
. Alt-left/right arrow
works find for switching between windows, and Alt-up/down arrow
works fine for sessions switching, however Shift-left/right/up/down arrow
do nothing except scroll the konsole (I am using KDE so Kubuntu). I am sure they probably work when only in a terminal, for example, when I SSH in via putty however when at my PC locally they scroll. My guess was that these shortcuts are set globally somewhere by something else, but I have searched everywhere and can not find any shortcuts to disable.

Konsole doesn't work with some (many?) of Byobu's key bindings. It seems that Konsole "eats" some of these key presses, unfortunately. While many terminals work to some degree with Byobu, the best experience will be found with gnome-terminal.
Full disclosure: I am the author and maintainer of Byobu.
I'll leave it here for the people who are struggling with this problem.
- Settings -> Configure Keyboard shortcuts: search for any shortcut with Shift+up/down/left/right and undefine it.
- Settings -> Configure Konsole -> Profiles -> New. In new window in Keyboard select Default (Xfree 4) and click edit. Define four new records showed on screenshot: keycodes
- Make this profile default then restart Konsole. Now it should work.
- Optional: if it is not working - try to search another shortcuts defined globally in system.
