Description
I hope this isn't filed already, but just to be sure: I Just noticed after updating that I can't select text anymore by using Shift + Left Arrow. I disabled all the plugins to make sure it's not something external:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Shift+Left Arrow behavior in Hyper with plugins disabled, using the screenshot and video linked in the issue as references. Trace the terminal's keyboard-input handling; the fix is complete when Shift+arrow selects text instead of inserting an escape-sequence-like string such as ;2D.
