[BRLTTY] Preserving presentation when copying to the clipboard

[Sébastien Hinderer]

Dear all,

This stems from a discussion Yannick and I had last week.

We believe that, currently, it is not really possible to preserve the
presentation of, say, a block of code when it gets copied to the
clipboard.

If the copy is done in a linear way then the end of lines are removed
whereas, if rectangular copy is used one gets a geometric rectangle,
which may include spaces one does not really care about.

One solution may be to add a boolean preference to control whether the
linear copy keeps the end-of-line characters or not.

Would others find such a possibility useful?

Seb.
