It's difficult to select all of the text within a note

1. Write some text
2. Note some of the text
3. Attempt to select all of the text within the note
   Actual: It's quite difficult to select the text within the note due to the on-hover states of the barriers. It would be useful if we thought of a way to select the text for the user. I've seen a few people have trouble with this when going to see how they work.

This should be easy to achieve. cmd-a whilst in a note? @alastairjardine

[alastairjardine]

and/or triple clicking could select up to both edges of the note barrier

[cutandpastey]

I can do that.

[nealmadlani]

That would be extremely useful!

I would be a little wary of cmd-a, simply because it means "select all" virtually everywhere, and we'd be breaking a standard behaviour in all of text editor land.

It would be interesting to figure out what percentage of people use keyboard shortcuts as the main way of working against which people use the GUI. I kinda get the impression most users are using the keyboard.

Also, three clicks is select paragraph and i'd argue that this is more useful than selecting the whole text. In which case hijacking cmd-a is less intrusive than using 3 clicks.
