Performing Ctrl+A while a tab is focused runs Chrome's select-all

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Prerequisites

Description

When a tab is focused and Ctrl+A is pressed, Chrome intercepts the keybinding and performs its own select-all.
chrome-tab-select-all

This seems related to #440 - ideally the tab shouldn't be focusable at all and immediately transfer focus to the file.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Focus tab
  2. Ctrl+A/cmd-a

Expected behavior: File's contents to be selected

Actual behavior: See picture above

Reproduces how often: 100%

Versions

Atom    : 1.23.0-dev-cfbee0a9e
Electron: 1.6.15
Chrome  : 56.0.2924.87
Node    : 7.4.0

This has been improved slightly such that the contents of the file are no longer selected, but it still occurs for things like the Keybinding Resolver.
