Description

This is a spinoff from #7041, as noted by @jph00, as a regression from Jupyter Notebook 6 to 7:

> Some of the shortcuts from the Collapsible Headings extension have been added - thank you! However, the ability to hold `shift` whilst pressing `right-arrow` has been lost -- this ought to select from the current cell to the end of the section

Issue 7041 was opened on 2023-09-12, but I can still reproduce this today using the tip of `main`.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shortcut behavior on the tip of main and compare it with Jupyter Notebook 6, using issue #7041 for context. Done means holding Shift while pressing Right Arrow selects from the current cell through the end of the section.
