Research direction
Examine the Brave browser's screenshot mode implementation, likely located under brave/components/screenshot/. Look for how keyboard shortcuts are currently handled in that mode, and add a handler for Ctrl+A to select the full viewport. Check any existing comments or linked issues for additional context.
