Description of the new feature/enhancement

'Modern Terminal' editors do not work (editors like Micro). If you try to select something wih the cursor, it doesn't select it in the terminal properly. Also, when I click somewhere, it doesn't change the cursors position. This is not a problem with the editor, it works fine in Command Prompt.

Windows Terminal (text isn't really selected, cursor does not move):
Windows Terminal not working properly for Micro
Command Prompt (properly working):
Screenshot (206)

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Add an option to disable selecting and somehow make it more Command Propmt like.
