Is it possible to copy selected data using KeyTable extension, without the html tags?

I use the Keytable extention (https://datatables.net/extensions/keytable/) for:

1-keyboard navigation
2-showing where the focus is on the table data
3-being able to copy from that one cell which is given focus

Yet it seems that inline html formatting tags are copied to the clipboard as well,

Is there anyway to make this copy work without those tags?

    Hi @hm123 ,

    Thanks for that test case, it helps to see the data. Yep, it can be done, see keys.clipboardOrthogonal. I used that example to modify your test case, see here. The HTML tweaking came from this SO thread.

    Cheers,

    Colin
