Better yet -- dunno if it's even possible -- would be an implementation of ad-hoc multi-selection... :thinking:

@Cornflower: Thanks for the explanation. I clearly see how I will implement it.

@Midas: The first requirement would be for the source application (where the text would be copied) to support multi-selection. For example, Chrome, Edge and other browsers that I know don't support multi-selection. MS Word can do it but, AFAIK, the multi-selection would require VBA to be read.

@Cornflower: I've added the "Append" feature to the latest QCE beta release v1.0.9.2. See under the "Options" menu, "Copy to Append to the editor". It needs to be tested before adding it to the prod release (please let me know here or on the QCE forum if you can test it). Also, do not hesitate if you have suggestions about the feature's language

Still testing but the append works. Thanks for giving a choice in Options for the delimiter, it adds to the functionality.

I found one SQLite error--I'll send the details in DM.

If it is when opening a command dialog box, I got it. It is in v1.0.9.3.

Do you think the label "Copy to Append to the editor" (under the "Options" menu") is appropriate? Better suggestion?
