Description

It would be nice having alt-left and alt-right work not only in the definition window,
but also in the repl.

Currently it works in the repl after the current promot. However often I want to copy/paste something from older output, and there the keys aren't bound.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the REPL key bindings and comparing them with the definition window, where Alt-Left and Alt-Right already work. Verify that both keys also navigate older output, not only text at the current prompt.
