Thanks for the request!

This will not work in general. What if I select this text and choose "Delete"?

Terminal can't "collude" very well with the shell because it needs to remain generic.

Because terminal cannot reliably do this, I'm going to close this feature request. Please, keep them coming! Thank you!

Oh! Powershell can do this if you hold down Shift and use the Arrow keys. That’s a good shell feature!
