Issue Description

when I switch to the terminal tab of the Integrated console, I can move left and right using arrows, but I'm not able to move using Ctrl+left, Ctrl+right which moves by words and I'm not able to select words using Ctrl+Shift+left, Ctrl+Shift+right.

This will be resolve when we enable PSReadline support in the console, follow bug #535 to be notified when this is done!
