Select all from Text widget [message #143462]

I have a read-only Text widget in a Dialog, and want to add support for
Ctrl+A (or whatever "select all" is bound to). If I use a StyledText, I can
say text.setKeyBinding(SWT.CTRL + 'a', ST.SOMETHING), but I'd rather not
hardcode the accelerator key, and there doesn't seem to be a constant for
select all. Any suggestions?

Thanks - now I'm totally confused: IKeyBinding, IKeyBindingService,
IKeyBindingManager, KeySequence, ICommandListener...

Hope this will be documented somewhere soon :-)
