Describe the feature

I wish Vim had a text object for the entire buffer, so that you could yank/delete/change/surround the entire buffer easily. I'm used to kana-textobj-entire in Vim and the same functionality is built into Emacs' evil-mode.

I'd suggest "e" as the character for the shortcut, but this is obviously user-assignable.

Workaround

I tried to set it up the basics using send keystrokes. The good news is that these bindings all worked. The bad news is that they made other bindings using the same operators (e.g. ciw) not work anymore, so I don't think it's a sensible workaround for now.

      "y a e": ["workspace::SendKeystrokes", "m z cmd-a y ` z"],
      "d a e": ["workspace::SendKeystrokes", "cmd-a d"],
      "c a e": ["workspace::SendKeystrokes", "cmd-a c"],
      "v a e": ["workspace::SendKeystrokes", "cmd-a"]
