IMHO remove colored copy & paste

Hi,

I dont like the colored copy & paste feature being the default copy & paste feature (CTRL + C). Is there any reason for that? Like copying things into any non-raw editor has that colored text now. Like Excel, mail client, Wiki/Confluence ... Everything! Just when I want to copy & paste config setups, keys, exception messages RAW ... I dont get the benefit of colored copy & paste feature, what's the use case?

PhpStorm goes into a direction where one dont want it to be .. the confluence/JIRA way where every possible feature is implemented and no one seems to have a view on the big picture anymore. Its overloaded, fat & start to get annoying.

My suggestion: make it configurable but dont make it a business tool for managers. Its a tool for developers. Dont colorize data. Code is data. Of course just IMHO, interested in opinions.

Btw: I know I can change shortcuts.

Hi there,

>Btw: I know I can change shortcuts.

No need for that.

"Settings/Preferences | Editor | General --> Copy as rich text by default" -- just disable that option.
