I use DBISQL on Win32 on 12.0.1.3769.

Usually, I am interested in copying cell content from the Result pane of DBISQL, not the contents of the complete row or the row headers.

I can do this by using the context menu and choose "copy data / cell" (I use a localised version, the English words may be different). But I would certainly like to use CTRL-C to copy only the contents of selected cells. As stated, however, CTRL-C copies the full row(s) including the header of the column. And all too often I try to insert a single number in a particular window, then insert an entire database unintentionally instead...

Question: Can I use another shortcut or is there a choice in the result pane to change the meaning of CTRL-C?

It looks like Ctrl-C maps to Copy Data Rows effectively, while you (and I!!!) would like to MALL map it to Copy Data-Columns, as defined here: copying columns, rows and cells in an Interactive SQL result collection.

The complete list of Interactive SQL Keyboard Shortcuts dates back to 1985... However, even then, cool children's software allows you to change the key tasks (hint, hint:)

Thank you, Volker, for noting how Really Annoying Ctrl-C is [ end sarcasm alert ] ... [ sarcasm alert ] Until now it had been only one of the little irritants of your life such as an alarm that went away before you finished sleeping.
