Description of the new feature/enhancement

Most if not all text editors allow shift+left, right and shift+ctrl+left, right to select character/word to then further copy it. Opening PowerShell in the new terminal actually does exactly that!
Opening Cmd acts as if only left/right were pressed.
Ubuntu WSL2 prints C/D.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Add support for these very common shortcuts or provide guidance why powershell does work and the rest does not

Sidenote: Love what I see so far!

This is something you’ll have to configure with your shell. If you’re using bash, look into bindkey and .inputrc.

As a general rule: if powershell can do it inside Windows Terminal, so could another shell.

@DHowett Can you provide some guidance here? What do users need to put into .inputrc? bash doesn't support this.
