Hold down shift and use the arrow keys to select text in Notepad. It is not working in Edit. How do you select something in Edit? |

Using Shift and Arrow keys, actually. If that doesn't work, your terminal may not be fully compatible. I mean you're mentioning Notepad, but on Windows both the old console and Windows Terminal should just work. If you're on macOS, try using Ghostty. If you're on Linux, most modern terminals should work (e.g. Ghostty, Kitty, Konsole). If you're using of these, let me know and I'll try to look into it. For that I'll need more precise info. |

You are correct. Shift + Arrow keys will work in Edit on Windows 11. My Windows is too old... |
