Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.19041.264
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): latest 0.11 preview
NVDA: latest master snapshot alpha-20220,1c4519a6

Steps to reproduce

  1. Attempt to use the keyboard to scroll upwards.
  2. Attempt to select text in the output buffer.

Expected behavior

It should be possible to do so

Actual behavior

As far as I know this hasn't been implemented. I was trying to use the hotkeys described here. The legacy terminal does support this but unfortunately not in WSL.
