Describe the problem
Let's say I have 1000 lines of debug output in the serial monitor window, how do I do a select all, such that I can copy it to the
clipboard?
With 1.8.19, I click the mouse into the monitor window and hit Ctrl+A and it selects all of the text. I can then hit Ctrl+C
to copy to clipboard.
To reproduce
Run a sketch and try to select all of the text from Serial Monitor.
🐛 The contents of the sketch editor are selected when you press Ctrl+A:
Expected behavior
I expected hitting Ctrl+A would select everything in that window not the source window.
