Word select (shift+alt+left/right arrow) should work in Rename Symbol input box

[SirIntruder]

Given this example and cursor placement:

SomeLar$$geSymbolName

Shift+Alt+left/right arrow would set selection to "Large"

However, when triggering "Rename Symbol" on SomeLargeSymbolName, cursor in input box has no ability to select words. All other common cursor operations (ctrl/shift/home/end combinations) work exactly as in text editor, so this looks like a plain omission.

It also seems that Quick Open (Ctrl+P) input box shares the exact same behaviour, and it would be nice if fix for Rename Symbol would propagate to Quick Open as well.

It would also be very useful if this would work on "Rename File" input box as well
