"Include font style with Copy"preference

[William Robertson]

What does the "Include font style with Copy" checkbox in the Fonts preference screen do? I did hope it would let me copy code as plain text, but it doesn't seem to make any difference to anything. What am I missing?

This option applies to grid data only, and not to source code in the editors. In version 8.0 you will also have control over this for the editors.

 

[William Robertson]

Aha, thanks

If you dont want to wait until version 8.0, I have a workaround to this!
Simply add a new Special Copy file on SpecialCopy folder without any format rules. The file content should be just:

After restart PL/SQL, you can replace Ctrl+C shortcut key to this new Special Copy and keep old Copy as another key, like Ctrl+Alt+C

Damn, forget the replace shortcut thing, doing that you lost Ctrl+C on grid data

Maybe allow use of Special Copy on grid next patch, huh, Marco?
