Copy-paste with formatting

[Noah Torp-Smith]

When I copy-paste from native Terminal, I get the font and colors from the Terminal program. That is nice to paste into mails, for example, so that is evident that it comes from a terminal. It would be nice to have an option to 'copy with formatting' within iTerm2 as well.

In 2.9 (the nightly build) you can do this with cmd-opt-C. There's also a setting under prefs>advanced to make that the default.

I just discovered this as well, thanks for posting here!

Command-option-C was not immediately obvious to me, but it's incredibly useful!

I would even go so far as to say that it should be always visible in the Edit menu as "Copy with styles" instead of only appearing when the option button is held down. (But I guess the invisible "option key" menu items are a fairly common Mac thing if you remember to check for them.)
