Description
Moving the terminal window around is tricky, particularly when experimental_showTabsInTitlebar is enabled. Many unix terminals (and some Windows console replacements) allow Ctrl-LeftDrag operations on the window to map to a window drag instead. Would love to see this added to Windows Terminal as well!
