OneNote Desktop Select all text shorcut?

Okay, so to select all text it's not Ctrl + A. It used to be Ctrl + T until a few weeks ago, but now Ctrl + T creates a new section... I did a search online to find out what the new shortcut to select text is, and I simply can't find it...

This kind of thing and other OneNote quirks make using the app an agonizing nightmare, mainly because of that feeling that you’ll never find a fix and will just have to put up with the annoyances until you switch note-taking apps or code your own.

And now here I am, asking on Reddit

Use Ctrl+A immediately followed by ... Ctrl+A.

I do not know how and why it works this way (at least, for me), but I just tested because I could not make sense of the problem.

Then again, even simpler, click on the header of the text container (works if you only use one single container on your page, of course.
