ctrl+a does not select all layers

[richlv]

this is a regression.
have multiple layers, hit ctrl+a - they are not selected.
my usecase is opening a larger amount of gpx files and merging them in josm.

last "tested" version when this worked : 7480
first "tested" version where this does not work : 7588

this is intended behaviour of r7539. I thought the JOSM ctrl-a action (select all objects) was more useful than selecting all layers. I'd like to hear opinions from other people.

If you first click into the layers dialog and then ctrl+a, then it should select all layers because there is the same behavior for all other dialogs.

If you click in the map view and then ctrl+a then it selects all objects of the current layer.

Replying to Klumbumbus:

Yes, the shortcuts did/should work depending on focus, though I hate the needed "click" to focus on Linux where I am used to have focus by mouse only.

indeed, it should work depending on the focus - ctrl+a in the map view is useful and worked just fine when focus was there, but if focus is somewhere else, shortcuts should affect that functionality :)
