Hi, there is no way to do this across the board do to the fact each
program definds this key on its own.  The best you can do is add another
key in the jaws manager to do the same thing.  This means you will have
2 keys that do the same thing.  
Now you could once you do that define a script to control a and put it
in your default.jss file that does nothing.  Then when you press control
a nothing would happen.

I would like another key combination such as <ALT+SHIFT+A> to perform
the Windows function of selecting the whole document instead of
<CTRL+A>.
