Descripción
### Problem
Follow-up to #27561, closed as available in fullscreen with "if a specific interaction is still missing after switching, please open a focused issue for it." This is that issue: selecting text in the prompt input with the keyboard.
The habit from every macOS editor: hold Shift and press an arrow to start and extend a selection from the cursor, Cmd+Shift+Left/Right to grab to the line start or end, then Cmd+C, Backspace, or type over it.
### What happens today (2.1.270, `"tui": "fullscreen"`, Ghostty 1.3.1)
1. In the prompt input, Shift+Left/Right/Up/Down and Shift+Home/End do nothing. The `Chat` keybinding context has no `selection:*` action, and there is no `input:select*` action to bind.
2. The `selection:extendLeft/Right/Up/Down/LineStart/LineEnd` actions exist only in the `Scroll` context, and their handler returns early unless a mouse selection already exists, so they cannot start a selection in the transcript either.
3. The terminal is not in the way. Ghostty's default shift+arrow binds are `performable`, so they pass through to Claude Code whenever Ghostty has no selection of its own.
### Proposed behavior
1. Shift+Arrow in the prompt input starts a selection at the cursor if none exists, otherwise extends it. Shift+Home/End and Cmd+Shift+Left/Right (Cmd where the terminal reports Super, otherwise the Ctrl or Meta equivalents per the keybindings docs) extend to the line ends.
2. Cmd+C or Ctrl+Shift+C copies the selection, Backspace deletes it, typing replaces it, any unshifted movement clears it.
3. Expose the actions (`input:select*`, or `selection:*` in the `Chat` context) so they can be rebound in keybindings.json.

### Environment
Claude Code 2.1.270, macOS (Darwin 25.6), Ghostty 1.3.1, fullscreen TUI.
