Add support for copy/paste shortcuts in the System Session Manager in AWS Console, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/session-manager-working-with-sessions-start.html#start-sys-console

Happy to submit PR if you think it is worthy addition.

Definitely, a good addition but could you provide a use case for context

Often when I'm working with a SSM session in the browser, I am copying the results from the terminal to share (e.g. for an incident response, debugging networking); or copying/pasting commands from a runbook.

It would make the experience better if we could map ctrl+c/v (or ctrl+shift+c if we want to avoid SIGTERM) so the user didn't need to right-click to copy/paste. SSM already has reverse-i-search (ctrl+r) mapped.

Have you used SSM sessions much?

Sounds good. No, I have no experience with SSM sessions. But we should include this feature and you can definitely pick up this issue.
