Change how CTRL-A works in the edit window to work like OneNote

[George Rutter]

Is it possible to change how CTRL-A (select text) works in the Edit Pane of a Tiddler?

In OneNote, the first time CTRL-A is used, it only selects (what I would consider) the most local element. For instance, if in a bullet, it selects the entire bullet. If in a paragraph, it selects the paragraph. The second time CTRL-A is pressed, it then selects all the text.

I think this will be really helpful, as I intend to try to figure out how to add more formatting options by keyboard shortcuts.

Good idea, there is a multitude of tiddlywiki enthusiasts who have developed keyboard tools, so do research this. The pre-release has some additional features here.

However ctrl-a is typically handled by the browser and a browser setting or plugin/addon may be able to configure this behaviour and thus apply to all edit "text areas" on all sites/tiddlywikis without modification.

Such features of course can be lost on touch devices.

Post script,

The Firefox Plugin  withExEditor can open text in any local editor you want (and a lot more) and I like to use it with NotePad++ on Windows.
