[Feature Request] Support text-navigation and selection shortcuts (Option + Arrows) in Tab Rename input #1663

Description

@p-dros

Please add support for standard caret movement and text-selection shortcuts within the tab rename input field.

Ideally, the input field should support the following behaviors:

  • Word-by-word navigation: Option + Left/Right Arrow (macOS) or Ctrl + Left/Right Arrow (Windows/Linux).
  • Word-by-word selection: Option + Shift + Left/Right Arrow (macOS) or Ctrl + Shift + Left/Right Arrow (Windows/Linux).
  • Jump to start/end of line: Cmd + Left/Right Arrow (macOS) or Home / End (Windows/Linux).
  • Select to start/end of line: Cmd + Shift + Left/Right Arrow (macOS) or Shift + Home / End (Windows/Linux).
  • Select all: Cmd + A (macOS) or Ctrl + A (Windows/Linux).

Supporting these standard native text-editing behaviors would greatly improve the user experience.

Thank you for building an amazing terminal!
