Copy as TSV

mikiqex's profile image mikiqex posted 14 years ago in Feature discussion Permalink
When transferring data from Excel to plain text (and vice versa) via Windows clipboard, data are stored as TSV = Tab Separated Values (similar to CSV, but instead comma/semicolon is used TAB character).

Using this feature I would be able to paste data right into Excel, without any further modifications needed.

Please would be possible to add "Copy selected rows as TSV" option into "Copy data >" in resultset context menu? Thank you in advance.

This is a bit cumbersome, however you can set the control characters in Tools > Preferences > Export to meet your needs.
