Text Selection in Quicklook Windows No Longer Works
With at least the last couple of OS X versions you could enable text selection and copy operations in Quicklook windows by entering the following terminal commands:
defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection -boolean YES;
However this no longer seems to work in OS X 10.11. The 'defaults write' command raises no errors or anything, it appears to take, but after the 'killall Finder' restart command text selection does not work in Quicklook windows. I've tried logging out and in but still no dice. I'd suspect it was somehow related to SIP but as I said there is no error message or anything to indicate a problem with the commands. I'm seeing this behaviour on both my 2008 iMac and 2010 15" MBP.
Has anyone else seen this problem and/or have any idea what the cause could be?
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11), Early-2008, 24in, 6GB RAM, 250GB SSD
