Hi, maybe I am off base here but are you trying to remove this key
command or have another key in addition to do the same thing.

combination.
What I was trying to say was that since it's a Windows convention rather
than being an actual Windows keystroke, the control+a is defined as such
by the actual program, not by Windows itself. So you couldn't change it
universally within Windows, you'd have to change it from within the
individual program, assuming the program would let you do it.
