I suppose others want to copy-paste from XXE as well (copy-pasting between applications, especially between text editors, is quite a basic thing), so you may consider making this to be out-of-the-box available starting from the next release. (Actually, native applications used to put stuff in multiple formats to the clipboard, so this thing just works with plain Ctrl+C... but I'm not sure if that's possible in pure Java.) -- Best regards, Daniel Dekany
