Description Adrian Price 2003-11-07 15:38:12 UTC 
Frequently I run lengthy test suites in gnome-terminal and would like a
means to select all the output in order to copy it to the clipboard. 
Manually selecting 100s or 1000s lines is so tedious...  If the command
were available in a popup and also mapped to, say, Ctrl+Shift+A (to match
the cut/copy/paste key assignments) this would be just perfect!

The MSFT Windows console provides a very useful command to select all the
text in the buffer (it's a little hard to use but it's better than doing it
manually).

This would be useful, I guess. The binding cannot be Ctrl+Shift+A,
because that starts the unicode codepoint entry mode for the default
gtk input method, though.

Currently vte does not expose a `select_all' on the scrollback log.
Moving to vte as a RFE; nalin can bounce it back later, I guess.
