Fred,

Ctrl + A Select all content in nearly all computer systems. 

The multiple selection with a mouse is:
Ctrl + Left click   Add the line to the selection;
Shift + Left click  Select all between the current line and the line clicked on;
SHift + Up arrow  Select one line up from current line;
Shift + Down arrow  Select one line down from current line.

This doesn't work in the main menus but does AFAIK in the Reconcile and the
Import Matcher Window. I have usually found with the CTRL-Left Click I have to
use it twice, once to activate the multiple selection mode and again to select
the item. Once it is activated a single ctrl-click seems to work.

Most of these are set in the GTK library and are not GnuCash specific which is
likely why they are not listed in the Wiki or guide. I haven't been able to find
a reference specific to GTK which defines the key combinations they set and
support by default but they do include many of the combinations listed in the
references below. The specific key combinations for a given function are also
sometimes OS and or distribution dependent ( Super is usually the Windows key).

Some common definitions used in many computer systems are defined in the
following:
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/keyboard-nav.html.en
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/shell-keyboard-shortcuts.html.en
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-keyboard-shortcuts-3d444b08-3a00-abd6-67da-ecfc07e86b98

Feel free to add any keyboard combinations you find that work to the wiki. Just
ask for editing privileges.
