Keeping the selector expanded

If you prefer to keep the format selector expanded so you don't always have to click to expand it, check Keep format selector expanded in Tab Copy options.

This can be useful if you commonly switch between a small set of formats.

To apply the third format, hold down Shift+Ctrl or Shift+Cmd when copying.
