Allow copy-paste of formatting inside a text object
Summary:
At present, Ctrl+Shift+V can be used to paste the formatting from one object to another. However, this does not work for spans of text inside a text object.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Inkscape.
- Create a text object and write the words “Foo Bar Baz”.
- Select the word “Bar” and give it some deviant formatting, e.g. fill, stroke, italic, etc.
- Press Ctrl+C to copy the selected span containing the newly formatted word “Bar”.
- Create another text object and write the words “Snap Crackle Pop”.
- Select the word “Crackle”.
- Press Ctrl+Shift+V.
What happened?
It pastes the overall formatting of the original text object, not the specially-formatted “Bar” span.
What should have happened?
It should paste the formatting of the “Bar” span.
