Thank you, EP, for being 'someone'.  I should remember that you are the one who 
can current do these tests.  I presume the reproducible 'this' is the 
non-response to cmd-A, cmd-Z, and so on.  So closing as 3rd party, tcl/tk, 
issue.

I comfirmed that Jacob's expectation is reasonable in that the keys do work in 
the macOS save-as dialog opened from Safari (and I presume in other 
Apple-supplied apps).

The tk doc https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/getOpenFile.htm says merely "pop 
up a dialog box for the user to select a file to open or save." Some details 
are system-specific.  The only promise about user interaction is that one can 
enter a new name when saving and either confirm or cancel.

The tkinter doc 
https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/dialog.html#module-tkinter.filedialog adds 
"native look-and-feel", but this is an interpretation of the intention of the 
tk function and is completely dependent on them.  Any failure of the 'feel' 
part should be reported to tk.  (The IDLE doc merely says "with a Save As 
dialog".)

The IDLE Edit menu only applies to its editable text windows.  Their menus are 
grayed out for modal dialogs.  Tkinter dialog entry boxes come with selection 
and clipboard hot keys, but not undo keys.

resolution:  -> third party

macOS tkinter Save As doesn't accept keyboard shortcuts
