[Jalview-discuss] Copy raw sequence!

[Jonas Larsson]

Hi again jalviewers. I have one wish for the next version that would make a _huge_ difference for the way at least I am using Jalview. That would be an option to use copy the sequence raw instead of as fasta. The reason is that while analysing alignments I wish to check parts of the sequence in a host of other tools and sometimes fasta format is good, more oftenthe applications puke on it. 

For my part the best thing would be to use ctrl-c for raw copy and ctrl-shift-c for fasta copy. This is of course not a good idea as a default for jalview since that would not be backwards compatible but one could always wish for two additions: raw copy on ctrl-shift-c as default and a checkbox in preferences to swap the two copy variants...

As of now I am actually using MEGA in parallel with jalview just for this reason, quite inefficient but stripping out fasta headers all time was even worse :(
