how to format text for copy-pasting as a spreadsheet table

[Bob Sneidar]

CTRL-K is the standard keyboard equivalent, but LC does not respond to that. I suppose you can have a frontscript with a rawkeyDown handler that checks for CTRL-K (ascii 107) then put numToChar(11) into the selection. Remember to pass rawKeyDown. BTW I also use this to trap for other keys like cmd-C,X,Z,V so I can handle those functions properly when I have custom menus.
