Steps to reproduce

open cmd
type: type f:\mx\public\x86fre.nocil\onecore\external\sdk\inc\crt\direct.h

Expected behavior

shift+left should select the h, and ctrl+shift+left should select the whole path

  • ctrl+shift+left selects the empty character after the h. A 2nd ctrl+shift+left selects the path

Do you remember when this last worked? I just tested conhost back to RS4 and it does the "Actual behavior"; conhostv1 doesn't do selection, so it's right out.

I'm not actually sure but this def feels like a regression and I can't think of a case where the current behavior would be by design or desirable/useful in any case: doing ctrl+shift+left the first time seems to select a character but it doesn't actually do anything, if you copy it nothing gets copied. it just seems like an added unnecessary productivity hurdle if I have to ctrl+shift+left twice now instead of just once

Triaged into console backlog. Confirmed this is not a regression: it behaves like this in TH1, which is when this feature ("extended text editing keys") was introduced.
