Allow end-users to select and copy shell output without the mouse

[shaunluttin]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Problem: Selecting and copying shell output requires the use of the mouse.

Solution: Allow end-users to select and copy shell output without the mouse.

Example: In the ConEmu terminal emulator, pressing Shift+UpArrow initiates block selection and navigation of the shell output.

Here is an example from ConEmu which shows a use case in which the end-user selects and copies a commit hash from the git log output.
