Support text selection via keyboard #31951

Closed

Description

@gspencergoog

We should support selecting text in text fields using a hardware keyboard. For instance, using the arrow keys while holding down SHIFT. Also selection to the beginning and end using the begin/end keys and SHIFT (and perhaps selecting words/sentences/paragraphs with other key combinations).

    There is some basic support for this now, but it's missing some things (like up/down arrow support, for instance). Still more to be done.
