Two actions needed for SDL Edit

G'day everyone

Once again I'm forced to use SDL Edit to edit an ITD file. I'm desperately trying to find out how to perform two actions in SDL Edit, and I'm hoping that there is actually a way to do it.

The first action is to overwrite the current segment's text with the source text. In other words, to insert the source text into the target field. Can that be done in SDL Edit using either a keyboard shortcut or a sequence of menu items?

The second actkion is to select all text in the target field of the current segment. In all my other CAT tools, Ctrl+A does the trick, but SDL Edit doesn't listen to Ctrl+A. The only way I have been able to figure out to select all text is to click in the box with the number, but I'm hoping for a method that can be done using the keyboard only.

Thanks
Samuel
