Every selection, selects contents, so this is not self-explanatory to me.
Besides, this menu item does not indicate of which inset the contents is
selected, so IMHO the word "contents" is not necessary.

First of all, you can't get into a printnomenclature inset to even call
inset-select-all, so this is not the best example.

Me too, that's why I don't like "Select contents of inset", because it has
no reference to "all" or "whole", while this is so closely related to
"Select all".

If "Select Whole Inset" would mean to select the inset itself, why is the
word "Whole" then added ? Can you select only half of the Inset ? Actually,
you can, but that would mean to select half of the contents. So, "Whole"
indicates .. the whole contents.

I will not fight over this, I'm just trying to figure out the most
applicable name.
