@jonathangc can you clarify what this did before?

You can get the old behavior by unbinding the resize keybindings. Add this to your keybindings.json:

{ "key": "ctrl+shift+left",         "command": "-workbench.action.terminal.resizePaneLeft",
                                     "when": "terminalFocus" },
{ "key": "ctrl+shift+right",        "command": "-workbench.action.terminal.resizePaneRight",
                                     "when": "terminalFocus" },

@Tyriar
With the combination of keys:
ctrl+shift+right or left I could select the word in the console.
ctrl+backspace I could delete the word.

The functionality of this combination was replaced by resizePaneLeft and resizePaneRight.

I deleted this combination:
{ "key": "ctrl+cmd+left", "command": "-workbench.action.terminal.resizePaneLeft",
"when": "terminalFocus" },
{ "key": "ctrl+cmd+right", "command": "-workbench.action.terminal.resizePaneRight",
"when": "terminalFocus" },

After that, it works well.

@jonathangc @mlucic can you show me a screenshot of the selection? I can't get it to work using Windows 10 FCU with powershell.exe or the powershell extension set.

Without resizePaneLeft shortcut (ctrl+shift+left)

(ctrl+delete) is not working in VS Code.

Thanks all, I got it working. I'm going to remove the resize keybindings on Windows as it appears cmder and conemu both use apps+shift+arrow. Our keybindings system doesn't support apps as a modifier (which is really weird) so I think we'll just leave it unbound by default on Windows.

I removed the keybinding, selection in PS now works with the defaults.
