TSE: Feature: Request: Add <Ctrl A> MarkAll() to the default TSE ui\tse.ui file

Hello,

Would it be possible to add 

 <Ctrl A> MarkAll() 

to the out of the box default used TSE .ui file.

Such an important often used action as 'Select all' / 'Mark all' does currently not even have an
own dedicate key shortcut in the TSE menu (see the screenshot).

Thanks
with friendly greetings
Knud van Eeden

TSE: Feature: Request: Add <Ctrl V> PasteFromWinClip() to the default TSE ui\tse.ui file

Hello,

Would it be possible to add 

 <Ctrl V> PasteFromWinClip()

to the out of the box default used TSE .ui file.

At the moment that very important paste <Ctrl V> key shortcut is not defined at all,
so it is assumed that should be no issue to define it from now on and add it to the
default tse.ui file.

TSE: Feature: Request: Add <Ctrl C> CopyToWinClip() to the default TSE ui\tse.ui file

Hello,

Would it be possible to add/replace 

 <Ctrl C> CopyToWinClip()

to the out of the box default used TSE .ui file.

---

f:\wordproc\tse_beta\ui Thu  3/26/26 18:05:00>grep -i "<Ctrl C>" *.ui

File: F:\WORDPROC\tse_beta\ui\brief.ui
    "<ctrl c>                 CenterLine"
<ctrl c>                bCenterLine()
File: F:\WORDPROC\tse_beta\ui\tse.ui
<Ctrl c>                GotoColumn()
File: F:\WORDPROC\tse_beta\ui\tsejr.ui
<Ctrl c>                    PageDown()
File: F:\WORDPROC\tse_beta\ui\win.ui
<Ctrl c>                CopyToWinClip()
<Ctrl c>                CopyToWinClip()
//<Ctrl c>                GotoColumn() ???
File: F:\WORDPROC\tse_beta\ui\ws.ui
<ctrl c>                PageDown()

---

At the moment that very important paste <Ctrl C> key shortcut in the default
ui\tse.ui file is assigned to 

 <Ctrl C> GotoColumn()

where this 'GotoColumn()' is a very infrequently used key shortcut
which can probably very easily be redefined to some other key combination.

Then instead instead assigning it to this extremely important,
well known and very often used 'copy' command:

 <Ctrl C> CopyToWinClip()

(only in the default ui\tse.ui file).

TSE: Feature: Request: Add <Ctrl Z> Undo() to the default TSE ui\tse.ui file

Hello,

Would it be possible to add/replace 

 <Ctrl Z> Undo()

At the moment that often used similarly in other applications <Ctrl Z> key shortcut in the default
ui\tse.ui file is assigned to 

 <Ctrl z>                Scrolldown() 

where this 'Scrolldown()' is an assumed not so frequently used key shortcut
which can probably be redefined to some other key combination.

Hello,
I would prefer this key binding: <Ctrl A>  BegLine()  (an Emacs binding) 
but since TSE is configurable with reassignable keys I make new key assignments as I please without affecting other users.

Friendly greetings
Ross Barnes

The Ctrl V/C/X keys are assigned in cuamark.s, and have been for many years.  I don't think they need to be repeated in tse.ui.  I have been using tse.ui and cuamark.s for very many years.
