Should ⌘+A/Ctrl+A select only the current block or the whole text?

In the current prototype I am looking at, it selects the whole text.

I think this is undecided, and may depend on whether we go with a TinyMCE-is-a-parent vs. TinyMCE-is-a-child approach. If the latter is a really good experience in every other aspect, we'll probably be okay with having Ctrl + A selecting the contents of the selected block, and asking people to go to the markup editor to copy/paste it all.

FWIW, this is a flow I do pretty frequently when writing a post — I'll write the draft in WordPress, copy and paste it into Hemingway to edit, then copy/paste it back into WordPress.

To clarify: do you use the visual or HTML editor for this?

Visual. I only use the HTML editor to fix formatting issues like leftover markup.

In regards to the single TinyMCE editor, I feel the command+A should select all content on the page... not just within the block.

Hi,
just dropped in and tested it a bit. From the experience in the prototype here (https://wordpress.github.io/gutenberg/) for me it felt CMD+A should mark only the section. You can see it in this small screencast I've made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFBxYIoBMvU

My goal was to get rid of the demo text. As you can see, I tried double-click here, but it stopped at the blue marked text. In the second step I tried CMD+A to get the whole section.

Hope this helps :)

Multi block select (#62) is in master. So you can select across blocks.

It would be nice if, when you are inside a text block, ⌘A selected all the text inside that block. When you do not have a block selected, you select all blocks on the page, as what Multi Select does. CC: @iseulde

@jasmussen I like that idea. Together with the copy PR, you could easily copy all the content then. In case the distinction is confusion, we could even select all when all then content in a single block is already selected. So you can also select all from inside a block by doing it twice.

I do think we should postpone any and all copy paste efforts for the time being though.
