Description

The text-highlighting Shift+Arrow shortcut does not work at all while using the cool-retro-term terminal emulator (I've tested this, and this behaviour is expressed in both Fedora and Ubuntu)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Shift+Arrow selection failure under cool-retro-term on Fedora or Ubuntu, then trace the terminal input handling that interprets this key combination. Done means Shift+Arrow highlights text there without breaking the existing shortcut behavior in other terminal emulators.
