Do you mean in the Editor?
CTRL+A selects the whole source or target text. If it doesn't, maybe there is an AutoHotkey script messing around… Check it suspending the scripts temporarily.
I stopped all scripts, and CTRL+A does not select anything... I can use the HOME key to get the the start of a line and the END key to get to the end of a line. STRG+HOME moves the cursor to the start of the editor text (first segment displayed) and STRG+END to the end. Shortcut list has CTRL+A to "select all".
Weird… This time nothing is selected. Previously a line was selected, right?
Apart from checking that there are no more CTRL+A shortcuts in Options > Keyboard shortcuts (sorting by Shortcut column will help you), I can only think of obvious checks:
- If your keyboard has got a second CTRL key, does the another CTRL key work fine?
- Does CTRL+A work in any other application, like Notepad?
- Does rebooting your PC help?
It sometimes happens that Shift, Alt and/or Ctrl do not work when you have a remote desktop session running (Windows 10). Maybe an idea.
How strange... the CTRL key works, CTRL+F opens the Find window, CTRL+A selects all in Notepad++, keyboard shortcut checked, only one function has CTRL+A, which is Select All. The "Select all" button in the ribbon works, but will only select all target text in the active segment. Once I used that, CTRL+A also works (also only all text in active target section. Odd.

This might happen as well with AutoHotkey. That's the reason to try shouting AutoHotkey down.
I confirm that the "Select all" button only selects the target in my Trados Studio 2019.
Running out of ideas…
BTW, I use an AutoHotkey script to copy the source text (I posted it here in the forum). So if you use it and with your ribbon workaround you will be able to select source or target after all.
That would solve it since I want the hotkey for scripting anyways... but I can't find it. Could you post the link?
Please have a look at the whole thread, as I remember some nice enhancements to the original script…
Good luck!
