[Feature Request]: Export result grid data to a clipboard with configurable format

[joseazr1987]

Feature Description

I would like the MSSQL extension to allow copy the results of the result grid into a configurable format ( comma, pipes, another custom character) not only with tabs.

I know if this happen, it will be a limited data allowed to copy into a clipboard for performance

Problem and Motivation

Currently when I work with multiple result grids and I don't want to save/export a bunch of csv files for example to work with the data.

@joseazr1987 , we do support copying in different format. Is this what you are requesting for?

It can be done using the context menu (right click) after selecting cells in a grid.

Kinda, but the csv format is by default on only option.

I mean, it can work but comma isn't enough. But if the "copy as" take a value of the configuration that determine what will be the delimitator example tabs, pipes, comma, another custom character.

Hope this solve the answer

There is a setting that lets you configure that.

mssql.saveAsCsv.delimiter

The setting should work for copy as csv as well. Let me know if that doesn't work for you
