BUG: Cmd+A does not select all text in Preview tab raw editor textarea #183
Description
Summary
Cmd+A (select all) does not highlight/select text in the Preview tab's raw editor textarea. The textarea is a native <textarea> element, and the app's command system in command.tsx has a guard that should bail early for clipboard chords (Cmd+A/Z/C/V/X) when the target is an editable element (isEditableTarget checks target.closest("input, textarea, select")). Despite this, Cmd+A appears to be intercepted.
Context
- App version: 1.18.12
- OS: Darwin 25.5.0 arm64
- Component:
packages/app/src/components/session/session-preview-tab.tsx(RawEditor) - The raw editor uses a native
<textarea>withel.addEventListener("keydown", ...)andstopPropagation()for Cmd/Ctrl chords — but the command system's handler usescapture: trueondocument, so it fires first in the capture phase before the element's bubble-phase listener.
Expected vs actual
- Expected: Cmd+A selects all text in the textarea (native browser behavior)
- Actual: Nothing happens — text is not selected
Diagnostics
- The command system handler (
packages/app/src/context/command.tsx:432) is registered with{ capture: true }ondocument - Its guard at line 413:
if (isEditableTarget(event.target) && isClipboardChord && !isPalette) return— should bail for Cmd+A in a textarea isEditableTarget(line 256) checkstarget.closest("input, textarea, select")— should matchisClipboardChordincludes"a"in its key list- A native
el.addEventListener("keydown", ...)was added to the textarea withstopPropagation()but this fires in bubble phase — after the capture-phase command handler selection:bg-blue-500/30was added to verify selection isn't just invisible — it genuinely isn't selecting
