CTRL+A shortcut not working (CTRL+S etc works though) about fyne HOT 6 OPEN

Just checked and it does work correctly on macOS.

Probably because the builtin select-all shortcut on Mac is Super+A instead of Ctrl+A, but it does look like there may be a bug since you have no Entry widget or anything else in the snippet that would be using the builtin select all shortcut

Hmm, I wonder if there is a bug here where we conflict internally because that is a defined keyboard shortcut.
Can you register the SelectAllShortcut when not on Darwin and see if that works?

I've been trying to find a way to register only that without success. And I think the corresponding code always ignores custom shortcuts in favor of the predefined ones: https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne/blob/master/internal/driver/glfw/window.go#L867
If this the expected behavior, adding a sentence about it in the documentation would at least prevent surprises.
With that in mind it seems the only safe solution would be to switch to Alt instead of Control as a modifier key. Which would have the added benefit of being consistent with input fields.

I'm pretty sure that's a bug and not intended behavior. Some reworking of the shortcut handling here is needed I think.

IMO developers should be able to override the builtin shortcuts, but the builtin widgets should still receive them if focused. (EG you can register Ctrl+A on the window canvas, but if an Entry widget is focused it should still receive the builtin select all shortcut, unless it itself is overridden to register a different handler for that keybinding.

Agreed
