Research direction

Start with the Windows Terminal console input handling related to SetConsoleMode and ENABLE_QUICK_EDIT_MODE. Determine how selection and copying are currently controlled and where a user-facing way to disable them would belong. Done should include an implemented behavior that prevents mouse selection and copying when disabled, with coverage for the relevant Windows console interaction.
