Issue Description

Within the PowerShell Integrated Console I can only move the cursor one letter at a time. I use CTRL + Arrow Keys, or CTRL + BACKSPACE to move the cursor one word at a time.

This works as expected in the main Editor window, so would also be great to work in the console when doing interactive tasks.

Hey Adam, this functionality come when we integrated PSReadline in a month or so. Please follow issue #535 to be notified when this is done. Thanks!
