Description of the new feature/enhancement

When I browse man pages I have to use the arrow keys to move up and down and it's slow. So I wanted to bind shift+mouceweelUP to arowkeyUP but you cannot bind keys to other keys. The command (referring to the command property of the keybindings, not a command entered in a cli) the arrow keys trigger when they are pressed is not available to be assigned to other keys. I also didn't find any way to bind something to the mouse-wheel in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/master/doc/cascadia/SettingsSchema.md#keys

Proposed (not so)technical implementation "details"

Add all the commands/actions that keys can trigger and add all the keys (and other inputs like a mouse wheel) you could possibly bind things to.

@DHowett-MSFT commented on GitHub (May 9, 2020):

Thanks for the request! I think your request will be solved by combining #1553 and #3799, when they're done.

However, I think your actual bug is a /dupe of #381. The pager that man uses typically enables the alternate buffer mode, and then it enables a "mouse cursor keys" mode that translates your mouse wheel automatically into up/down commands.

Because Terminal is not aware that the "alternate buffer" mode is turned on, it doesn't have the right mouse wheel behavior in the pager.
