[Feature Request] Make Content text Selectable

It would be really nice if the decoded content text (either decoded content or hex view) would be selectable, so that it is possible to copy parts of the content.

Hi, the decoded (text) content is already editable, can be selected and copied to the clipboard, too 😉

Or was your question about binary content? This isn't editable (yet), but it can be saved to a file also be copied to the clipboard (as a hexdump) with the copy icon in the upper right corner.

Hi, I just realized earlier the same and tried to remember over the day what code it was that didn't work: Its the QR code of Hermes (Delivery courier) which is of type QR code, Version 8, Data mask 2. The content is displayed but the TextBox is disabled, so no content can be selected. I guess that is what you mean by Binary data ;)

Yes, exactly. QR Codes (and some other 2D barcode formats) can contain raw binary data, which usually isn't readable text, of course. This is why the text box is disabled in that case.

Didn't know Hermes does this. I will check this with the next package I get from them.
