Keyboard shortcuts for Copy Special

Would you please consider implementing keyboard shortcuts for each sub-item in the Edit > Copy Special menu? I make extensive use of in-line comments, but whenever I copy-paste text from Scrivener documents I usually do not want to preserve said comments at all and half the time I forget that they even get included in the Ctrl+C shortcut.

A possible alternative that I would also be happy with is some sort of toggle that changes default Ctrl+C behaviour to not include in-line comments or footnotes.

Thank you for your consideration!

What are you pasting into ??? Word, or some other program?

Software that doesn’t support rich text, like Notepad and instant messaging clients.

As noted elsewhere, the plan is to some day have all non-dynamic menu commands available in the customisation list. The size of this task and its relatively low priority has meant it has become more of a gradually done thing rather than all at once. For that our priority is in areas that really serve zero purpose save for having keyboard shortcuts on them. For example a number of the commands in the Edit ▸ Select submenu offer no advantage to just selecting with the mouse. Next layer of priority are things one might use a lot, and yes, I would say the Copy Special commands, some of them for sure, do fall into that category.

I’m a little confused by what you mean. Are you saying the priority is keyboard shortcuts that are redundant?

I’m equally confused by the question, I suppose. I don’t see how X came out of Y, there.
