[AccessD] Shortcut key to mark a record?

Actually, you need to be not in "edit mode" for a control for it to work.
Any editable control will accept a Shift-Space as a character input
(naturally).  So the control can be in-focus but as long as the user has not
begun to edit the content Shift-Space will work as the select-entire-row
shortcut.
Not exactly a good choice by the designers eh!

I wonder if one could define a key press sequence to assign
select-entire-row to something else.  This may be a better way than using
the built in.

Thanks Bryan!

I can see you need to NOT click a control for this to work.
Say, tab to the next textbox, then press Shift+Space.
