Feature Request: Scroll from selection dragging out of window #1247
Description
Summary of the new feature/enhancement
prereq: make sure you can scroll in the instance you're on
- begin making a selection
- As you move your mouse and expand the selection, move it towards a scrollable part of the buffer (so, up or down)
As of now, the selection "stops" at the end of the window.
The feature is that it should act like regular ConHost instances where it starts scrolling for you so that you can keep expanding the selection.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
I'm hoping this isn't too difficult. We would have to detect when the mouse gets close/past the edge of the window. Then, when that actually occurs, communicate with the scrollBar and move it.
