select all button
Hi,
I used to have a "select all" button that I *think* was an add-on, now obsolete. I have searched in vain both within and without TBird. Please does anyone know of a way to do "select all" that I have missed?

The Checkbox Column add-on provides a one-click icon in the Selected column of the Threads Pane to select all.

To select all items in the window that the cursor is in - Windows use Ctrl-A - Mac use Command-A
I much appreciate your taking time to respond. I am aware of the Ctrl-A. I am looking for a button I can click/select with a mouse. I have not been able to find that.
Does Ctrl-A not work for you?

Thank you, all. Thank you, SFHowes. That's just what I was looking for. This add-on does not show up via the add-ons button in TBird itself. How did you find it?
if you type checkbox into the search box in Tools/Add-ons/Extensions, the Checkbox Column add-on is the first result. But I didn't search for it, I already knew about it.
Thanks. I've got it installed. It's exactly what I wanted. I appreciate the help.
