Did you received the attached images? I don't see them on the ML message I received. If not, I can upload them somewhere.


BTW, other use case: when a dialog box shows an error message, it might be useful to select and copy the text for reporting, etc.

Interesting feature in native Windows dialog boxes: when it is displayed, you can hit Ctrl+C and you get a copy of the dialog! Example:

---------------------------
Modification du nom d'ordinateur
---------------------------
Le nouveau nom d'ordinateur "Tagada foo bar!" contient des caractères non autorisés. Les caractères non autorisés incluent ` ~ ! @ # $ ^ & * ( ) = + [ ] { } \ | ; : ' " , < > / et ?
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Another example, still on Windows: Alt+Enter on a file in Windows Explorer to get its properties. You have a number of labels and read-only fields. The latter looks like fields, but you can select them and copy them (file type, opened with, path, etc.). I think these are read-only TextInput.

I know Pivot might be limited by security policy for copy/paste stuff, but it is useful at least in standalone applications. I use it a lot...
