Ctrl+A doesn't select all text in a TextBox

[CryZe]

It seems like an implementation along those lines needs to be added, but I'm not 100% sure how to do this correctly. usize::MAX is certainly wrong and I'm not at all sure how IME works, which is the unused return type. Also I've seen that EditSession also just straight up has do_action which can handle TextAction::SelectAll, among all the others. So is there some duplication going on already with the other actions?!

This is supposed to be handled at the IME level. On platforms that don't currently have 'real' ime, you might take a look at the simulate_input method in druid-shell/src/text.rs; here you can handle ctrl+A and dispatch SelectAll to the active text field.

It already receives SelectAll, but SelectAll doesn't do anything on TextBoxes. Although it doesn't receive it from simulate_input and instead from fallback_do_builtin_command.

[cmyr]

do you mean SELECT_ALL command, or text::Action::SelectAll?

[CryZe]

oh I meant SELECT_ALL. Seems like that's different from SelectAll. Why is it so different from Ctrl+C, V, R and co.?

[cmyr]

yea, it's fiddly. SelectAll is a special text event in macOS, but copy/paste are not.

[cmyr]

I think that probably SELECT_ALL shouldn't be part of fallback_do_builtin_command, it should always be handled by the text system. 🤔

In any case, this still happens. I can't Ctrl+A the text in the Textbox example.
