What do you mean always default to 'a'? Meta-E opens the Tag 
dialog with a combo box that contains all the valid tag 
names that can be inserted at cursor location. The valid tag 
names are extracted from the schema associated with the 
edited document.

Yes, in version 9.1 Meta-C copies the current line when 
there is no selection. It was requested by other oXygen 
users. In version 9.2 we will add the option "Cut/Copy whole 
line when nothing is selected" for the text editor in 
Options -> Preferences -> Editor. With this option the 
function of cut/copy the whole line can be disabled. There 
is a conflict between your request and the request of other 
users about the Cut and Copy operations when nothing is 
selected.

You are the only user that requested to clear the clipboard 
when nothing is selected in the editor panel. In fact I see 
that TextEdit which is a native Mac application and the 
native Windows applications that I tested do not clear the 
clipboard on Meta-C (Ctrl-C on Windows) or Meta-X (Ctrl-X on 
Windows) when nothing is selected. I did not test in other 
Mac editor applications. Do other users think that the Cut 
and Copy actions should clear the clipboard when nothing is 
selected?
