How to select all in Input widget?

[Tim-Cao]

I tried to use mouse and ctrl+a to select all text in Input widget. They didn't work.

Input has no concept of a "selection".

You can see all the bindings for Input in the Textual documentation for the Input widget. Ctrl+a moves the cursor to the start of the input.

Is there a faster way to clear typed content?

See the bindings linked to above, there are actions bound to keys for deleting all text to the left or the right of the cursor, for example.

I see. Many thanks
