Description jhoffman 2001-10-18 00:03:59 UTC 
As in the Editor window, the user should be able to use Ctrl+A to select all contents of the
output window with a single keystroke.  This would make it much easier to duplicate the 
previous "Copy to Clipboard" functionality, where all the text in the output window was 
automatically copied to the clipboard.
Comment 1 jhoffman 2001-10-18 00:09:53 UTC 
This is an accessibility issue, since Ctrl+A is a JLF standard and selecting all text
in the output window using only the keyboard is cumbersome.

Also see related issue: 9854 -- There should be a "Select All" menu item in the Edit
menu.
