Remove hyphen from line-broken words on copy

[329]

Hi,

"Add line breaks after every text line to match the visual layout of what was copied": Off

When copying a paragraph, with the above option set to off, the program removes visual line breaks (a useful behavior), but it should (optionally) assume that "character-hyphen-linebreak-character" is an autohyphenated word (used for more compact columns) and should remove that hyphen in the copied text. This is the case much more commonly than the hyphen being part of the normal text.

Xpdf command line tools do that when you convert PDF to text.

Hi, 329

thanks for the post and excellent suggestion. I assumed we had an option for this but I do not see it.

I have asked the devs what they think.

Kind regards,

Hi, 329

the devs agree and have approved a formal feature request be raised. While for internal use only, should you refer to
RT#6804: Feature Request :: Editor :: Remove hyphen from line-broken words on copy
here then any support staff member should be able to get yo a status report.

I do not have an ETA for delivery of said feature, ultimately it will be at the discretion of the development team.

enjoy
