autofocus "select all"

[dusty-phillips]

What problem are you facing?

In some cases when I initialize an editor, I want to immediately focus and select all the content.

What’s the solution you would like to see?

The autofocus property of editor accepts several parameters for what position in the text should be selected: start, end, or a number. I would like a new possible value of all or selectAll to be an option.

  const editor = useEditor({
    autofocus: "all"
    ...
  })

What alternatives did you consider?

I currently do this in a useEffect hook:

  useEffect(() => {
    if (editor) {
      setTimeout(() => {
        editor().focus().selectAll().run()
      })
    }
  }, [editor])

Anything to add? (optional)
