Feel free to add a feature request on mantis. Otherwise it will probably be forgotten.

IMHO the menu has already a lot of items. And a likelihood that other items will grow it further. But then it is a standard item for editors.

Why don't you just assign a keyboard shortcut for that menu item, if it doesn't already exist. Alternatively, if you use the Editor Toolbar add-on, add a button representing that function to the editor toolbar.

The IDE uses the usual shortcut:
Cmd-A on Mac
Ctrl-A on Linux, Windows, ...

Using right-click to 'Select all' is second nature for me, that when it wasn't working I thought it was a bug until I saw it wasn't in the menu. It works virtually everywhere. I'll put in a request in the bug tracker.

It will be nice to see how it is implemented. Is there some way of viewing the patch applied when it is implemented?

The SVN revision is usually noted when resolved. Then an SVN diff can be made.

You can try yourself.

Most changes will be in ide\sourceeditor.pp and a few will be in the resource constant unit (make resource string will find it)

line 1200 ++ is the context menu. then search the identifiers in the rest of the unit: SrcEditMenuCopy
(or search in all files)
