Post [FR] - Copy data from result grid Reply with quote
Displaying huge/long numbers in the result grid is not quite human-readable. This is where Display Formats come to the rescue, with their different formatting and the Thousands separator. But there's a side-effect to that. When copying those formatted cells, the data in them is copied in their formatted state instead of the original one, which might not be a problem for strings (especially if it is needed/wanted in its formatted form), but it can really ruin the day for numbers, as the destination of said data might not take well the commas and spaces used as thousands separators in those numbers.

Having to pre-process the data mined from the grid before pasting it to the destination, either by editing it in some intermediate application (eg. Excel) or switching between Display Formats back and forth (which is neither quick nor simple to do) could be prevented by being able to tell how the selected data should be copied, optionally each having their respective user-configurable hotkeys:
- raw/original (Ctrl+c)
- formatted (Ctrl+Shift+c, perhaps).
