in terminal type something and press Shift+Ctrl+LeftArrow then press RightArrow, all the other editor and Terminal, would move the cursor to the right side of the selection and undo the selection. but this terminal is not.

I normally use keyboard to do selection and then copy and then continue.

@DHowett-MSFT commented on GitHub (Jan 23, 2020):

Terminals do not have the same caret movement mechanisms as text editors. Sorry. The terminal is to be considered equivalent to a sheet of paper, where text is appended at the cursor location. The cursor cannot be moved by direct user action.
