Is there any possibility (default write, or something else) to copy text directly from a quick look window? It annoys me that I cannot select and copy text snippets directly from Quick Look.
1 Answer
In Terminal, enter:
defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection -bool TRUE
You have to restart Finder before the option will be available.
Found this on: http://www.defaults-write.com

Please notice that the activation of the "Text-Selection-In-Quicklook"-Feature could lead to the bug described in this question: QuickLook having problems displaying some images– bobndrewAug 2, 2014 at 21:48

1I did what you have in the answer, restarted the Finder, but it seems like this does not work for macOS Catalina...– zyyDec 7, 2020 at 15:15
