shift+click to select text

Describe the solution you'd like?
When text is already selected, I would like to be able to press shift+click and automatically select up until that point. This is a functionality in most terminals and is something I use a surprisingly amount of the time but is not present in Warp.
I originally did shift from the final t in requirements.txt to the second to last t (highlighting txt). Then shift clicking the first r in requirements should highlight the entire requirements.txt word.
If I were to select from the second to last to to the final t and then shift click the first r in requirements, it would highlight just the word requirements.
The algorithm is based on where you first select from, pressing shift-click will select all the text from either the cursor into the first select position or first select person to the cursor.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The problem is that this is supported in other terminals (VSCode, ITerm) but not in Warp.
