ctrl a
Select entire document
Ctrl A is a keyboard shortcut that selects all content in the current context—all text in a document, all files in a folder, all items in a list.
It's one of the most universal shortcuts across operating systems and applications: I hit Ctrl A and deleted everything by accident.
On Mac, the equivalent is Command A.
