Bug ID: 481248
Summary: Suggestion: CTRL+SHIFT+A should default to selecting
everything including scroll back so it can be copied
out easier
Classification: Applications
Product: konsole
Version: 23.08.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: copy-paste
Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org
Reporter: e...@horse64.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
CTRL+SHIFT+A should default to selecting everything including scroll back so it
can be copied out easier. Selecting these contents otherwise usually requires
selecting everything visible (easy) then keeping the mouse down and waving it
up forever until reaching the end of the scrollback (mechanically rather hard
to do). I know there might be other ways to export this, but this is one of the
most obvious and consistent with other apps on how a user might try this, and
sadly it doesn't work. GNOME Terminal on the other hand supports CTRL+SHIFT+A
just fine, so I propose you add it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open console
2. Press SHIFT+CTRL+A to select all output
3. Alternatively, try to find "Select all" in the context menu
OBSERVED RESULT
Can't select everything including scrollback
EXPECTED RESULT
Can select everything including scrollback
