Hi All: I'm using an old version of Ubuntu, 14.04, and I can't figure

out a

keyboard sequence that "selects all" analogously to  what ctrl-a does on
windows ?

If anyone can be bothered running below and see if they have a way to
select all four fruits at once, it's appreciated. I've spent quite a bit

of

time searching the net, going on AskUbuntu etc
but no luck. Thanks.

library(tcltk)
fruits <- c("pear", "apple", "banana", "peach")
temp <- tk_select.list(choices = fruits, preselect = NULL,  multiple =

TRUE)

print(temp)

Ctrl-/ picks all items on my setup.

I'm in 18.04 inside Rstudio so my experience may be different.


I discovered this by holding the control key down and sliding my finger
across the lower tier of keys.
