<h1 dir="auto">Description of the new feature/enhancement</h1>
<p dir="auto">We can currently select text in the terminal by dragging mouse with key pressed. Linux terminals and Windows command prompt allows you to select text by also Shift + arrow keys. I have tried this in the Windows terminal and instead of selecting the texts it just prints characters (Shift + right arrow prints 'D' for me).</p>
<p dir="auto">Would be great to have the keyboard method for text selection for windows users. Would be very helpful for keyboard heavy users</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Update</h2>
<p dir="auto">I checked that powershell on terminal works as expected<br>
cmd on terminal doesn't print extra characters, the cursor just moves instead of selection<br>
WSL prints extra characters (shift + right =&gt; D, Shift + left =&gt; C, etc)</p>
<p dir="auto">Hello,</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm using tmux on Linux machines and ConEmu on Windows machines and I really love that I can do text selection with the keyboard.</p>
<p dir="auto">In ConEmu, there is a keybinding for "Start text selection (like text editors)", whereas in tmux there is the same thing with <code class="notranslate">&lt;prefix&gt;&lt;b&gt;</code> (I think that is default), where I get a cursor that I can move with the arrow keys around the console window.<br>
While doing this, I can select text while holding shift and (in case of ConEmu) press ENTER to copy the text into the clipboard and end the text selection.<br>
It can also be compared with Vim's visual mode.</p>
<p dir="auto">It would be nice if the new Windows Terminal could support this out of the box, so I can use it in e.g. PowerShell :-)</p>
