ACS copy with formatting

When copying from a terminal session, it would be great if there was a way to copy the text with formatting (foreground and background color).

It could be a separate option (as Copy as Table) or multiple formats (text, RTF, HTML) copied to the Clipboard at once (at least on Windows).


Use Case:

When creating documentation, I frequently copy information from the terminal session into Word. Usually it is enough to copy just the text and paste with a proper font, but sometimes the different colors are important. I would like to avoid taking screen shots (or Copy as Image, which is also an option in ACS) due to the increased file size.

    I can see value in this request. I would think that this could be done using RTF files as the output - will be suggesting re-evaluation of this RFE.

    Thank you for your suggestion. Copying properties of the text from the emulator is not something we will be providing.
