Ubuntu 18.04  Most often I used File, Select all.  Control A is just fine,
just unaware of the option.  As I mentioned above it is not in the current
list of shortcuts.

Another useful feature that is now gone is the ability to rotate an image
in Image Viewer.  Did they really have to pare things down that much?

thanks for all the responses!
