Exactly! That's the UNIX layout as opposed to the Windows or Mac layout.

In there you can change or remove shortcut Interesting! I've made many keyboard assignments here, but I never though to try reassigning a low-level function like this. I assigned the command "true" to Ctrl-A and this did indeed deactivate the select-all function system wide. Thank you! In Firefox I can still select-all using Alt-A which is apparently built into this program. Do you or anyone else know how to now assign "select-all" to Alt-A or some other shortcut? This Keyboard utility is looking for a system command to assign to a shortcut and there is nothing like that for select-all. I would like to make the assignment so that the function is available in other applications. Thank you all for the help!
