The clipboard keys already went to a focused text field, but on Windows,
Linux and the web the press that opens a menu takes the keyboard from the
field, so Edit > Copy (and Cut, Paste, Select > All) acted on the art.
The menu bar now keeps the field that had the keyboard, and its
selection, while the menus are open; those four commands go to it as the
events their keys send, the frame after the click that chose them, and
give it the keyboard back. Everything else, and those commands with no
field, run as before. The macOS menu bar shares the same helpers.
Tests: Copy, Cut and Paste events in the W field and the Color panel's
hex field edit the text, never the art; Select > All, Edit > Copy and
Edit > Paste clicked in the in-window menus act on the field.

Select All (Cmd/Ctrl+A) now follows the keyboard, as in Illustrator:
- macOS menu bar: the system menu takes Cmd+A/X/C/V before the window
sees them, so a focused panel, dialog or search field got the document
command. `menus::invoke_from_system_menu` (used by `NativeMenu::poll`)
hands Select All, Cut, Copy and Paste to a focused text field as the
events its keys would send; clicks on those menu items follow the same
rule. Other commands, and these with no field focused, run as before.
- Type tool: `select.all` itself selects all of the text being edited
while the Type tool edits (returns {editing, start, end}), so the menu,
the shortcut, the control channel and headless MCP (`press_key`) agree.
The UI's own Select All interception and the Type tool's hard-wired
Cmd+A are gone; Cmd+A reaches it through the Select All shortcut.
- Windows, Linux and the web already left Cmd+A to a focused field; now
covered by headless app-frame tests (field, Type tool, canvas).
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Select All while editing type), ROADMAP. Not yet:
Select All across threaded frames (one frame's text is selected).
