thinking of adding "NUL byte" as a column separator when copying rows to the clipboard in #Bobby. only recently learnt this is a common thing in low level programming!

like if you think that would be useful.

edit: current options are Spaces / Tabs / Commas / Markdown

Column Separator: [ Tabs ] (dropdown)
Used when copying rows to the clipboard — Column Separator: [ Tabs ] (dropdown) Used when copying rows to the clipboard

@hbons I think the NUL byte thing is more used in unix pipelines rather than clipboard paste.

@hbons Can I suggest also U+001f, "US", "Unit Separator", because that's what it's there for. (I think this is an option in sqlite).

There's also U+001e, "RS", "Record Separator", for multi-record data.
