Description
I log into an AL2023 EC2 instance via Web Browser, AWS Console.
Key combinations (shortcuts) like "Ctrl + <-" (Left Arrow) and "Ctrl + ->" (Right Arrow) work seamlessly.
So is Home and End buttons.
This is under bash shell. I switch to zsh, there too. All key combinations work.
I log into from Windows Terminal that runs cmd.exe (Command Prompt) with the following command syntax:
```sh
aws ssm start-session --target --region eu-west-1
```
Home and End works, but not "Ctrl + <-" (Left Arrow) and "Ctrl + ->" (Right Arrow) (bash).
As switch from bash to zsh nothing works.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Reproduce an AL2023 session with `aws ssm start-session --target --region eu-west-1` from Windows Terminal running cmd.exe, and compare Ctrl+Left/Right, Home, and End in bash and zsh with the browser session. Done means the reported key combinations behave consistently across the shells.
