Current Behavior

When typing a word and hitting ctrl + a, I end up selecting all the text inside the input element for the word. This only happens in Firefox. Also, because of there being a preceding space character before the user input (that is sliced at some point), when typing something after selecting all, the first character is chopped off.

Expected Behavior

When hitting ctrl + a I should not be able to select all the chars inside the input element.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open monkeytype on firefox
2. Type a word partially
3. Hit ctrl+a
4. Type something
5. You write over the current word

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• Browser: Firefox
• Browser Version: 139.0.4 (64-bit)

Anything else?

I think this issue seems to arise from the fact that the selectstart event doesn't fire on Firefox when ctrl+a is used in an input element. So the only way I could think of doing this was through handling the case on a keydown event.
