Re: Feature request: Select text of element's labels by Ctrl-A

[Alexánder Alzate Olaya <jhonnyalexander_91 yahoo es>]

Hi All,

About this problem I would like to add some thoughts.

It seems like the _Dia text input_ doesn't have the common behavior
with key combinations like:

* Select All "CTRL + A", as pointed by Igor Zhbanov
* Delete previous word "CTRL + BS"
* Delete next word "CTRL + DEL"

and so on.
