SUMMARY

CTRL+SHIFT+A should default to selecting everything including scroll back so it can be copied out easier. Selecting these contents otherwise usually requires selecting everything visible (easy) then keeping the mouse down and waving it up forever until reaching the end of the scrollback (mechanically rather hard to do). I know there might be other ways to export this, but this is one of the most obvious and consistent with other apps on how a user might try this, and sadly it doesn't work. GNOME Terminal on the other hand supports CTRL+SHIFT+A just fine, so I propose you add it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1.  Open console
2. Press SHIFT+CTRL+A to select all output
3. Alternatively, try to find "Select all" in the context menu

OBSERVED RESULT

Can't select everything including scrollback

EXPECTED RESULT

Can select everything including scrollback
