When I tried to position the cursor, it didn't work:
*Steps to reproduction*
1. Set "Block selection" to "Left Alt"
2. Set "Text selection" to "<None>"
3. Check the "Change prompt (cmd, powershell) text cursor position with Left Click"
option to "<Always>"
4. Save settings
5. Type a bunch of text in the console prompt
6. Try to use the mouse to move the text cursor position
=> The result will be that you'll switch into selection mode, and will not be able
to position the cursor in the prompt.
The problem is that on the "Mark & Paste" settings there are three option that control
what happens when you left click:
1) "Block Selection"
2) "Text Selection"
3) "Change prompt (cmd, pwoershell) text cursor position with Left Click"
However, these three must use different modifiers or they will conflict, but that's
not obvious from the UI (nor enforced). That is: you can have one of them set to happen
by default (without a modifier), but the UI will allow you to have two of them set
that way, and if you do, one of the features won't work. The same is true if you set
two of them to the same modifier.
I love the "position cursor" feature, but the configuration is a bit complicated &
confusing. Perhaps when that feature is on, it should only work in the prompt line,
and should make it so you can't start selecting text in the prompt line (you can just
start the selection on another line). Personally, I'd be happy to make that trade-off,
and have them both set to no modifier, since I rarely intend to copy what I'm still
typing.
Also, to make the settings cleaner, the three settings should probably all use the
same word (perhaps "<No Modifier>"), where right now the first two "selection" settings
use the word "<None>" where the cursor position uses "<Always>" to mean that no modifier
is necessary.

Well. Suppose for a moment, that you need to select _one_ char in the console.
How ConEmu can make choice between two actions (e.g. Text selection & Change prompt)?
My opinion at that moment - it can't.
For clarification.
It is impossible to determine from ConEmu (GUI) side if console is in ReadConsole function.
Moreover, some programs (bash, tcc) do not use this function and process input internally.
So, ConEmu can't rely on "cursor coordinates".
Current style of selection is "cursor inside selection", while in GUI editors is "cursor
outside selection". IMHO, without changing style - combining two actions on one modifier
(or without modifier) is impossible.

Yeah, I kind of figured you'd say it's not possible to tell when you're clicking in
the prompt (typed text) vs. output text. In any case, it would be great if there was
a way to force the user to pick different values for those three modifier combos (or
at least make it obvious that they SHOULD).
