Research direction
Investigate the UI component responsible for text entry boxes, likely in the src/UI directory. Look for existing keyboard shortcuts to understand how they are implemented. Then add a keybind for Ctrl+A to select all text in the entry. Check if there are any existing tests for keyboard shortcuts to follow the pattern.
