Shopping list: More configurable copy to clipboard option

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

For now the copy to clipboard option is correlated with the CSV export options in settings. So you have to be creative to export it in other formats and it's lacking possibilities.

I usually want to export it as a markdown checklist but I am sure other have other needs. Currently my export looks like this:

- [ ] >amount.unit.food
- [ ] >100.gram.ground beef
- [ ] >50.gram.mozzarella
- [ ] >5.gram.olive oil
- [ ] >5.gram.olive oil
- [ ] >1.pinch.pepper
- [ ] >1.pinch.pepper

Describe the solution you'd like

It should use other settings than the CSV option to personalize the export like you want.

The options that would be nice for the C/C export could be:

  • Show header (yes/mo)
  • Merge same ingredients (yes/no)
  • Format template. For example:
     - [ ] {amount} {unit} of {food}

(yeah my need include the 4 space at the beginning of the line)

Then it would be possible to export almost any sort of list. For my specific need, this would allow me to export a list such as:

     - [ ] 100 gram of ground beef 
     - [ ] 50 gram of mozzarella
     - [ ] 10 gram of olive oil
     - [ ] 2 pinch of pepper
