cannot copy

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I activated copy in quicklook with :
defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection -bool TRUE; killall Finder

It doesn't work with your plugin. Seems it break capacity to copy text with all 
extension. I tried with json, xml, php, css, js...

Please fix this! qlcolorcode is great, but being able to copy text is such an 
important feature.

I'm not sure what is different on my system but it works fine here (OSX 10.9.2, 
QLColorCode 2.0.1).  I was able to select text in h, c, pl, xml that was 
parsed/colored by QLCC and copy it to the pasteboard by pressing Command+C.  No 
errors or issues.

What OS version and QLCC version are you using?
What is the output of 'qlmanage -d 1 -t FILENAME.xml' for one of your xml 
files?  Make sure that QLCC is handling that file.  For example, look for 
something like this
UTI: public.xml. Generator used: <QLGenerator 
/Users/USERNAME/Library/QuickLook/QLColorCode.qlgenerator>

If a different QLplugin is handling the file, like the old Xcode Sourcecode 
plugin, it might not be presenting it in a way that you can copy.

I'm having the same issue (can select text, but can't copy). I'm trying on Ruby 
files. I'm on OSX 10.8.5, QLColorCode 2.0.2. This is the output of the command 
you suggest:

$ qlmanage -d 1 -t armadillo.rb
