Copy column headers to the clipboard

Post by *tuska »

With e.g. command cm_CopyFileDetailsToClip it is already possible to copy detailed data to the clipboard.

My wish would be to copy the column headers in addition to this detailed data with a new command -
column headings only once per copy operation.

Only the column headings are 1:1 to be copied
- even if these were possibly wrongly designated by a user
  or
- do not match the field contents of plugins

Reasons:
1. TC can already copy the detailed data to the clipboard and must therefore also know,
    which column headings there are for this purpose
2. If someone has a user-defined column view e.g. with the fields "Creation date", "Modification date", "Access date",
    one could see immediately from the column header which fields are involved exactly, after copying the contents of the clipboard
    e.g. to a text file
3. If a large number of columns have been created, then column headings are of great help
4. Here, for example, the wish has already been expressed to "Copy text of only certain columns" (from a Custom columns view).
    Since the separator is a "tab" this would be possible without problems (e.g. also in EmEditor) and one would have column headers!

Please check this proposal again.
Thank you!
