Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Currently,_pyrepl/windows_console.py is very limited compared to_pyrepl/unix_console.py, for example, it doesn't support theCtrl+← andCtrl+→ word-skipping keybindings (see also#119248) nor any of the keybindings that use meta (i.e. Alt), e.g. tokill-word orbackward-kill-word.

This is extra-annoying given the fact that the previous Python REPL did support Ctrl+←andCtrl+→` word-skipping keybindings in Windows, i.e. before pyrepl was used for Python 3.13.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
