What does the buffer and buffer beeping have to do with what I was talking about? I said I supported scrolling while copying (see my earlier post). What I said I did not agree with is using Ctrl-C to copy.

If you were to copy (Ctrl-C) from the editbox, you can ONLY copy it with control codes if they are in the line. We don't want to lose the ability to copy with AND without control codes when copying text from the channel. Ctrl is used to copy control codes. Using Ctrl-C will prevent either copying with or copying without control codes unless some other method is added.

As to other programs, I have seen others, but I don't use them anymore and can't give you specific names right now. However, keep in mind that most others aren't allowing a choice of with AND without colors/etc. Unless mIRC added a right click menu to "paste special" like you'd see in Excel, it's not a simple thing to change.

I see no benefit to making Ctrl-C do copying when it works fine as-is.
