[FEATURE]: Select all current text

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Uses Ctrl+Shift+A instead of Ctrl+A because Ctrl+A is already mapped to "move to start of line" (input_line_home)

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

[FEATURE]: Text selection and navigation inside input with keyboard #3370: [FEATURE]: Text selection and navigation inside input with keyboard - discusses broader keyboard selection functionality
feat: add keyboard-based copy/cut for input field selection #7516: feat: add keyboard-based copy/cut for input field selection - related keyboard selection enhancements

For keybind-related issues, please also check our pinned keybinds documentation: #4997

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

Blows my mind how there is no 'highlight all text' keybinding. Please add asap!

Yes!!! I need this!!!

(coming from #20837)
There should be a input_select_all keybinding field.

I personally want to bind ctrl+a (which i don't use to go the start of line) to select the whole prompt. (to copy/delete it)

OMG, we need this feature

Strongly agree. Right now, if I accidentally hit {Up-Arrow}, a massive prompt fills the input. To get rid of it, I have to open an external editor just to replace the text.

A "Select All" shortcut is definitely needed. Additionally, pressing {Down-Arrow} after the last history item should ideally bring back a clean, empty input line.

To stay organized issues are automatically closed after 60 days of no activity. If the issue is still relevant please open a new one.
