How to configure Ubuntu terminal to jump/select words on Ctrl(+Shift)+Left and Ctrl(+Shift)+Right?

I use Windows 11, but I also have Ubuntu running in WSL or when connecting with SSH.

In Windows PowerShell terminal, Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right jumps a word to the left or right. Adding the Shift key selects the word to the left or right (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Left).

In WSL Ubuntu terminal, Ctrl+Left jumps one word to the left and Ctrl+Right one word to the right, but pressing Shift does not select.

In SSH (PuTTY) terminal, neither Ctrl nor Shift have any effect.

How can I configure WSL and SSH (PuTTY) to behave like PowerShell terminal, which is extremely convenient.

EDIT 1

I use Windows Terminal to run Windows Powershell, Powershell Core and WSL. Its version is 1.12.10732.0
