Keyboard shortcut for marking the whole text of a textbox?

Hello!

Isn't there a keyboard shortcut for marking the whole text of a textbox? I thought it was CTRL-A, but it seems it's not.
Best regards,

No, you have to code it yourself, all short-cut wont work without code. Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-A, ... all need coding.

No, CTRL-C, CTRL-X and CTRL-V work without coding. Therefore I thought there was also a shortcut for selecting the entire contents of the TextBox.

What about CTRL-A? That is typically the select all command.

Yes, I thought of that, but it also does not work.

I think, that it's rather peculiar that cut, copy and paste are supported by keyboard shortcuts and select all the text by CTRL-A is not.
