FR: Customizable HTML/formated copy #2131

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Text copied in formated form, like HTML, should be customizable by settings, so in case you do a lot of copy-paste you don't have to re-format each piece to match your preferences.
All of them should be optional, with some default values. Once settings are categorized, they should go into single category.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

My propositions:

Property Type Default Description
htmlWidth String "terminal" - terminal - the width of the actual terminal.
- text - up to the last printable character. Like terminal, but with stripped blank space on the right.
- infinite - Scratches to available space (current behaviour).
- Valid css value e.g. 500px
htmlBackground String background's value Could anything that background can be or any valid css value that would be passed to background css property, like url. Theoretically we could support stripping the actual background (like image) and embed it as base64. I'd like that feature, but I'm afraid it's too heavy for a while.
htmlOffsetFirstCharracter Boolean true In situation like this:
   0123456789
   ABCDEFGHIJ
   KLMNOPQRST
where this means selected, true makes the paste as:
         3456789
   ABCDEFGHIJ
   KLMNOPQ
and false as:
   3456789
   ABCDEFGHIJ
   KLMNOPQ

Other than these above, properties padding, fontFace, fontSize and colorTable should be duplicated for the html/formated text so they can be set separately. If not set, they would match the terminal's ones.
