Description Jim Duchek 2017-11-28 12:57:03 UTC

Konsole copies font/formatting information to the clipboard.  I'm not sure this is, strictly speaking, a 'bug', but it's a 'feature' I can't imagine anyone would want from a shell/text console.  It is highly annoying pasting anything into Chrome/GMail or LibreOffice and getting whatever random monospace font it tries to use.  (Yes, I can right-click and choose 'paste as plain text', but why should I not be able to middle-click?)  A shell console should always be considered plain text and not have associated font information.

This should be turned off for Konsole, or at least made a profile option.

Git commit caf0ab2b7584c899a6cded2d6d2218990c126bae by Kurt Hindenburg.
Committed on 14/02/2018 at 19:40.
Pushed by hindenburg into branch 'master'.

Add a profile property to toggle copying text as HTML

The default behavior hasn't change.  Toggling this off will cause all
copy/paste to be text only.
