I think you'll find that Shift + Page Down is the fastest way to mark a lot of text, since you're doing it page by page instead of character by character.

Or, since GP said "mark all text", use Ctrl/Command+A.

Of course neither of these would demonstrate the effect they were talking about.

I typed that into Notepad and it did exactly what I expected: it displayed 'ggVG' in the edit window. I can even save it to a file!

Thank you for the tip.
