What I will typically do is include the listing and then also use `navigator` to embed the full document as an attachment to the PDF. I've begun to routinely take this approach because of ongoing difficulty providing easily copied text within a LaTeX-generated PDF. Hope this helps, Joel

The '-' character on the clipboard is still encoded as 3f hex. Bob p.s. I copied the text at the bottom of my email and pasted into a text editor then saved as example2.lyx. When I tried to open it with my Lyx 2.1.3 I get a pop-up saying ...example2.lyx is not a readable LyX document. where ... is the path on my computer

Re: insert listing so it can be copy/pasted from pdf
Whoops--I inadvertently sent this before I finished. Here is the complete
question ...
I want to insert text code listings into Lyx so readers can copy and paste
from the pdf document into their plain text editor software.
To replicate my problem use the example lyx file belo. Export as pdf (LuaTex).
In the pdf select the listing text 'x-y', copy onto the clipboard, then paste
into a text editor.
My editor complains that it cannot represent some of the characters. The '-'
character in the listing is encoded as 3f hex instead of 2d hex as it would be
with ASCII.
As you can see in the example, I tried fooling around with the listings
parameters by setting extendedchars=false
but that did not help.
Any suggestions as to how to fix this?
Bob
