Hello. I am learning LibreOffice Base 7.5 (64k) version on a Windows 10 desktop.
When I switch from a 3rd-party program over to an open form in LibreOffice Base, is there a way to automatically select all the text in the field (without having to press Ctrl+A)?
[Reason: I’m copying and pasting a lot of text back and forth between programs, and I don’t want to have to press Ctrl+A every time to select the text before pasting over it.]
Thanks!

Tabbing through this form shows that all the text gets selected in a single-line text control but not in multi-line controls where you have to use Ctrl+A.
OK. Doesn’t sound like this can be done because the field I need is a multi-line field. Thanks!
You can add a second single-line box bound to the same field as I did in the demo.
Selection all text can be done by adding a macro for handling the focus receiving event by control.
