prompt-toolkit support for Windows-style keyboard selection (using shift +cursor displacements)

Hi, is there any consideration for prompt_toolkit to provide a Windows-style selection mechanism (defining a selection by holding Shift while moving the cursor with Left/Right, Ctrl-Left/Right, Home, End, ...)? I am a user of the IPython console on Win10 and I am really not used to Emacs/Vi selection style. Plus, the Ctrl-Space key (start selection, Emacs style) doesn't seem to operate when running IPython inside the terminal window of VS Code.

I have tried to have a go at implementing this by modifying key bindings, but the first hurdle was that Shift-Left and Shift-Right key-presses are not even properly treated by input.win32.ConsoleInputReader. Shift-Home and Shift-End are also not listed in the keys.py source. So not sure what would be the best way to implement this. Clever key-bindings or deeper modification of the prompt_toolkit source, adding a 'Win' mode, and to have the Shift key acting as an 'anchor' or 'selection' flag in that mode maybe?

I would welcome any thoughts, suggestions, or help on this.

Start by reviewing input.win32.ConsoleInputReader and keys.py, focusing on how Shift-Left, Shift-Right, Shift-Home, and Shift-End are represented. Compare the existing key-binding approach with the proposed Win mode and selection-anchor behavior. Done would mean an agreed implementation scope and working Windows-style selection, including the IPython-in-VS-Code-terminal case.
