support copy/paste without escape sequences about ansi-econsole HOT 7 CLOSED

As an idea, could it better to use ANSI Console switcher to control if source has or not escape characters. ... or do a special switch for this on the console View toolbar...

or special "copy plain text" icon on View toolbar

Thanks for the idea...
Probably "copy plain text" icon is the easiest one
(I am not sure I can "intercept" the standard copy hotkeys)
I'll give it a try, maybe even this week-end :-)

This is great, thanks for the quick feedback and turnaround here. Much appreciated.
However, I would still prefer to have a preference setting that defines how the usual keyboard shortcuts should behave (include or exclude the escape sequences) - and get that preference set to "exclude escape sequences" by default - so that the usual "copy and paste" works as expected for the user when having ANSI coloring in the console. I think most people would like to quickly copy/paste a piece of text to somewhere else - and usually don't want to see cryptic ANSI color escape sequences in there... This is especially the case when people working on apps, they get an exception, and want to look that up or paste it into a bug report - for example.

I added a pull request for turning the default copy action into one that removes escape characters.
