When I do that, Nisus will take me back to the first footnote or at least some pages back, which is confusing and makes me lose time. So for example, if I've got a footnote on p.13, then do CMD A to change all footnotes, Nisus will take me back to another footnote or page. Just curious why this happens and if you could change it; I'd like to be able to CMD A and stay in the same place; not "urgent" or "life-changing" for me, though.

I know what you mean. That can be annoying.
In the meantime, to get back to where you were, press Command-Left Square Bracket.

Re: Select All (CMD A) on footers
Yes, it's quite annoying, specially if I'm writing a rather-long paper, which is usually the case; I get all lost and think "HUH? Where the heck am I now?" It distracts me and makes me lose a lot of time, and stresses me out quite a bit to be honest. Thanks for the [ tip.

Re: Select All (CMD A) on footers
The reason for this behavior is so that users understand that Select All hasn't just selected all of the text in the current note area, eg: selected all footnotes at the bottom of page 10. By showing the user that the first footnote has been selected, there's a clue that the selection is much larger.
But I can understand that this breaks your flow and is distracting. Perhaps that's a bigger drawback than the confusion this behavior attempt to prevent. I'll have us reevaluate the decision.
