What would you expect ctrl+A to do? I'm guessing you think "select all", but ctrl+a doesn't work in any string control anywhere in LabVIEW. Is this a more general request for ctrl+A to work in all text boxes, or is there some particular difference to the Documentation field compared to other data entry points?
I guess on the front panel and block diagram it behaves as expected by selecting everything, but the documentation field I'd expect it to behave as a regular text box and select all the text, as there aren't any other items to select?
Yes I agree, just been playing with what ctrl+a does on the front panel.
If you're in a text box I'd expect it to select all the text, same for numerics. If nothing has the focus then it should select all the objects on the FP or BD.
