Select and copy text within Quick Look previews
I'm a big Apple fan and my first work station was Macbook Air. Now i switched to Macbook pro and recently found a nice solution that allows you to copy text from Quick Look preview - it makes my life way more easier and handy. Here's how you can do it :
In case if you want to disable this feature , you can always run next command in the Terminal :
- Open Terminal
- Paste next command :
And that's it! Now you can find any text file, push Space button and you'll get Quick Look preview of it. Now you can select text from it and copy -> paste into another place.
defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection -bool TRUE; killall Finder
In case if you want to disable this feature , you can always run next command in the Terminal :
defaults delete com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection; killall Finder
