Terminal emulator with support for shift+arrow selection


Is there any terminal emulator which supports shift+arrow text selection (Microsoft-style)?
Thanks

urxvt aka rxvt-unicode can be extended with perl-based plugins.
i think i've seen something similar there, although i don't use it.

btw, a dos/windows terminal does NOT have shift+arrow selection.

This type of selection isn't dependent on which terminal emulator you use, but which shell and/or multiplexer you use. For example, I use Tmux in vi-mode to be able to make selections with the keyboard, though these are vim-style selections, not the Microsoft ones.
