[oXygen-user] Shortcut key wanted: Select element contents

Hi Francois, Eliot,

2 is not possible, we do not have a select/delete attribute action. 
There is a Select Attributes action that selects all the attributes and 
you can set a shortcut for that if you want from Options->Menu shortcut 
keys.

You can achieve a progressive selection up on the ancestor axes if you 
set a shortcut for the Select Parent action. Successive invocations will 
extend the selection.

Best Regards,
George
