Moving the terminal window around is tricky, particularly when experimental_showTabsInTitlebar is enabled. Many unix terminals (and some Windows console replacements) allow Ctrl-LeftDrag operations on the window to map to a window drag instead. Would love to see this added to Windows Terminal as well!

My recollection is that is actually a feature of the window manager, not the terminal. You can get the same thing on Windows with tools like https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/

That isn't to say that it wouldn't be handy to have this, just that the functionality shouldn't be attributed to various *NIX terminal programs.

I'm not saying this is a feature we wouldn't add if someone came up with a PR.

I'd definitely want to make sure that if this is added, the key to enable this is re-mappable, because I'm sure someone out there uses ctrl+drag to heat their cpu
