Select All

Choose the Select All option to select all the text in the current terminal window and the scrollback buffer, or all the files and folders in the current directory in the File Transfer window.

Note that in the terminal window, the selection can span quite a few lines backwards from what is currently visible. If you want to select just what is currently displayed on screen, use the Select Screen menu option instead.

When used in the terminal window, this operation makes it fast and easy for example to save long command output strings or to create a temporary log of what is displayed on the screen.

For file transfer, this enables you to operate on the whole contents of a directory at one time. This can be especially useful when downloading, copying or deleting files.

The keyboard shortcut for Select All is Ctrl+A.
