Allow selecting text with Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right shortcuts like regular text editors on Windows.

You can probably use the markMode action for this:

        {
            "command": "markMode",
            "keys": "shift+left"
        },
        {
            "command": "markMode",
            "keys": "ctrl+shift+left"
        },
        {
            "command": "markMode",
            "keys": "shift+right"
        },
        {
            "command": "markMode",
            "keys": "ctrl+shift+right"
        },

That works but it would still be better if this was set up by default.
