[Done] MDL> should recognize Ctrl-A to SELECT ALL

Hi Marcus,

The MDL> command displays text that can be copied to the Windows Clipboard. We can select a bit of the text with the mouse and hit CTRL-C to copy just that bit.

However, if we want to copy ALL the text, we have to manually select it all and if there are lots of lines, it takes a long time... as you have to keep holding down the left mouse button while you wiggle the mouse around while having the arrow pointer below the dialog. Just keeping the mouse steady won't do it... you have to continually wiggle the mouse around and keep the left button down for it to keep selecting more lines.

Thankfully there is a fast way - we can start at the top and press CTRL-SHIFT-END and it will select all the text and take you to the bottom in one shot... good to know.

All the same, I still wish it would just recognize CTRL-A... as I find myself copying text from these all the time and I instinctively just want to tap CTRL-A... as that's standard in most other Windows apps I use to select all the text.

Marcus, can you please let us know if this enhancement is possible and if so... can this be added to the Wish List?

Thanks for listening and have a great Christmas!

Agreed. Will add CTRL-A to MessageModal in next version.
