Ctrl + A Shortcut Not Valid

Scenario: I open a results window with a link, filepath, value, etc. and I want to copy the text.

 

If I click inside of that cell and press Ctrl +A, nothing happens.

 

If I click inside the cell, arrow to the end of the text, and then press Shift + Home; the contents of the cell are highlighted.

 

Why can't we have all of the Windows shortcuts?  Or am I missing something here?

1000% agree. Please also add other Windows shortcut combos that allow you to quickly jump-navigate around a grid. Ctrl+right arrow = jump to last column Ctrl+left arrow = jump to first column Ctrl+up arrow = jump to top column Ctrl+down arrow = jump to bottom column Add Shift to the above to select the traversed cells

+1 - standardising on common windows keyboards shortcuts in situations like this would be super helpful.

Quite a shame this one has been downgraded to inactive.
