Word selection is too coarse, doesn't stop at non-letter characters #5023
Currently, editing and selecting text, like expressions or file paths, in the PowerShell REPL is quite cumbersome because only letters (Regex \w character group) are considered word boundaries.
I would expect the cursor to stop at the next non-letter (Regex \W character group) character when navigating using CTRL + LEFT/RIGHT ARROW.
Enter a text like the one from the screenshot into a PowerShell window: Out-File '.\Temp\Test.csv'
Move the cursor using CTRL + LEFT/RIGHT ARROW keys
Expected behavior
Pressing CTRL + SHIFT + LEFT/RIGHT ARROW keys, I'd expect text selection to switch from Temp... to \Temp..., then .\Temp..., '.\Temp..., File '.\Temp... etc.
Actual behavior
Pressing CTRL + SHIFT + LEFT/RIGHT ARROW keys, text selection switches from Temp... to File '.\Temp... etc.
