Description

Keyboard shortcuts for Select All (Cmd-A) and Paste (Cmd-V) are not working when the cursor is in the file name text input of the Save As dialog box. Right clicking and using the context menu in the file name input does work to Paste.

Arduino 1.8.5
Mac OS 10.13.4

Research direction

Start by reproducing the keyboard shortcut failure in the Save As dialog's file-name input on macOS, using the issue's Arduino 1.8.5 and macOS 10.13.4 context. Trace the dialog's keyboard handling and compare Cmd-A and Cmd-V with the working context-menu paste; done means both shortcuts work in that input.
