By default matlab (installed on GNU/Linux) uses Emacs key bindings. So
Ctrl-a returns to the start of the line. If you change the key
bindings to Windows, Ctrl-a selects all text.

But never mind about that. Combining the input/output window and
adding the ability to select text is worth 27 Ctrl-a's and 9 Ctrl-e's.
And if you don't agree with me, Ctrl-c to you.
