Type: <b>Bug</b>
Command-A keyboard shortcut on PlatformIO Home screen highli… ghts the whole screen in a useless way that can't be reverted by hitting escape.
I use Command-A frequently (more often when system text input behaviors such as double click to highlight a word aren't respected) and in Platform IO this results in really weird behavior of coloring the entire view frame in a light gray box that I can find no way to get rid of.
Steps to reproduce:
Go to PlatformIO home view and click anywhere inside the view (not on any button or anything)
Press Command-A
See a gray box cover the view frame.
This same thing happens if I go to New Project, try to double/triple click the title (to highlight the entire word) and notice that it isn't highlighting. I observe the text cursor is blinking in the field. I hit Command-A to "select all" which is a very important Mac keyboard shortcut. Instead of highlighting the text (the indisputably proper platform behavior) a weird gray box is drawn. I can't find any way to make the box go away without losing my place, so I close the tab and open a fresh view which will no doubt be covered in the same gray box the next time a text field is broken and I instinctively hit Command-A again. It feels like this should at least be revertible with the Escape key, but that closes the dialog but doesn't hide the weird gray box.

I think I found code related to the issue (just a guess) here:
committed 05:57PM - 28 Oct 21 UTC
I’d love to poke around on this and see if I can find a fix, but I can’t find where this code lives on my machine (Mac, in case it matters) (I checked in ~/.vscode and ~/.platformio so far and didn’t find any other obvious places.)
Are there any pointers on where to find those files and test changes?
