Another useful keybindings being discarded is Ctrl+Right and Ctrl+Left to skip whole words in the Command Window.

No, this is not Windows specific.

I would actually expect Shift-Arrow keys to be passed on to the terminal for readline to handle, but that is actually not the case in our command window. Neither Shift-Arrow key or Ctrl-Shift-Arrow key seem to do anything on the Linux command window, the key combination isn't even passed to the terminal. It just seems to be discarded.

could anyone pls confirm whether this is MS Windows-specific?

e.g., shift-left_arrow would select previous character.

I think e.g. ctrl-shift-left (to select previous word) would be more of a keybinding issue, but this simple shift-arrows_keys seems a more basic issue.
