I noticed that when copying text from a the Cygwin Bash window and then pasting it somewhere (like WordPad), tabulator characters are converted to spaces. The same happens with RXVT too. Details: - print the content of some text file that has tabs (like a C program source) : cat foo.c - select and copy the text with the mouse - paste (ctrl-V) into WordPad The text in Wordpad has no more tabs. Is there a way around this ?
