Fast scroll by holding down Alt while scrolling with mouse wheel #6182

Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

VS Code has a great feature for scrolling using the mouse wheel. The window scrolls much faster when you hold down the Alt key. I use this all the time.

Sometimes in Windows Terminal I am scrolling through verbose CLI output, or I want to quickly look a long way back in the terminal history. It would be great if Terminal had the same Alt+scroll-wheel behaviour.

    I actually really like this idea. This probably would pair well with #1553, so people could customize which key is used for that, or opt-out.
