Hi,
copy an paste from window to window takes what's printed,
not what you have written.
So, if the terminal prints spaces to represent the tabs,
as a terminal usualy does, you CAN only copy spaces.
All else is an exception, U*X ist NOT wysiwyg!

Hi!
I noticed that when copying text from a the Cygwin Bash window and
then pasting it somewhere (like
WordPad), tabulator characters are converted to spaces.
The same happens with RXVT too.
Details:
- print the content of some text file that has tabs (like a C
program source) : cat foo.c
- select and copy the text with the mouse
- paste (ctrl-V) into WordPad
The text in Wordpad has no more tabs.
Is there a way around this ?
Regards,
David
