@goodwin64 Well, on Windows you select with Ctrl+A. Have you tried that?

[goodwin64]

I haven't, I just thought the Meta is a platform-agnostic meta-key 🤔

So, would you recommend specifying a different key combination based on the OS? @dgozman

@goodwin64 Yes, for now you have to use a different key combination based on the OS. See #12168 for a feature request to improve this.
