It would be annoying to have to do that, but then I admit I hadn't realized that there are terminal emulators that do support copying tabs. Changing to one that does, would of course be a much better solution! | |

| Dec 15, 2018 at 17:47 | comment | added | JoL | @Asu I think he understands that. His solution is to get the output via other means since the terminal emulator is not guaranteed to leave tabs as tabs when you select them in the window. However, I just checked and while putty, xterm, and konsole convert tabs to spaces, urxvt and gnome-terminal do not. So, another solution is to switch terminals. | |
