Ability to copy & paste a complete table

Subject says it all really.

It would be really nice if you could copy a complete table and then paste it into another topic.

That's actually possible... The tables in Help & Manual are like other objects and similar to links, images, etc. The major difference is that they support an inplace editor which activates the table when you click on it.

To copy a table...

1) Click on the text in the line before the table.
2) Use the keyboard to move on
3) Hold down the SHIFT key and use the arrow keys to mark the text that includes the table.
4) Now you can copy and paste the table like regular text

Sheesh am I dumb or what :-)

Thanks Alexander, that works a treat. I'd tried selecting the table and copying it but never thought to take the line above and shift down arrow through it.
