Are you using a custom menu bar or the default Rev menu bar? If you
have the Rev menu bar it should just work. If you have a custom menu
bar, then add "Select All" to the Edit menu, give it the shortcut you
want, and then add this section to the Edit menu buttons script:
case "Select All"
put the focusedObject into tID
if tID contains "field" then
select text in tID
end if
break
This assumes you have a standard menu handler using a switch.
