Minor: Create KS Cheat Sheet in report style

[j_c_hallgren]

In order to get my KS into a format that is usable for reference, I needed to (as best I can see it):
1) Save Clipboard as TXT
2) Import TXT in Excel
3) Adjust col widths
4) Do a "Save As Web Page" (which creates a 32KB file from 7KB, BTW)

So...could there be some way to partially format this using padding blanks instead of just delimiting columns by tab chars? Thus creating a table still in TXT form that could be printed or viewed and which is much more readable.

In the overall scheme of things, this is not that important as there are other ways to get a similar result, but having this as option would (IMHO) prove useful, while the current tab format would remain as best for spreadsheet usage.

Rather on the bloat side IMO.

The current TAB format gives you all the options for further processing. Also, padding blanks would lead to very wide columns and only makes sense with fixed width fonts.

Ok, but I don't think it would be that much, given that it already exists as option within Report tab on IP, so this could be just another usage of some of that code.

While I'd agree that it does, having to do those additional tasks which requires other programs doesn't make total sense to me. Yes, it could/would make wide cols but that's not a problem as my HTML file from above process shows quite nicely in the IP without need to scroll!

And about fixed fonts: if one simply takes the clipboard and saves it to a TXT file, then font doesn't came into play as I see it.

Given that Help file shows KS in a formatted manner, this would allow user to view their settings in a similar fashion. I've seen a couple of other programs which do it this way so that's part of my rationale for asking.

Not that you really care, but I agree with Don. The current implementation works fine, and allows you with a simple search&replace job in your favorite text editor to turn it into an HTML file or anything you'd like.

XY provides the data, and that's where it should stop I think. Plus, padding with spaces would, as said, only make sense with fixed fonts, and also not make for an easy read as either you'd have Hscroll, or somewhat of a mess. Much better to turn it yourself into an HTML table so that everything (formatting) is taken care of...
