Quick View (Quicklook) is a handy feature in OS X that allows us to quickly browse files in the Finder, such as pictures, videos, text, and other files. Unfortunately, when we make a quick view of a text file, the user is unable to select the text in it. Here is a small compilation to teach you how to select text in Quick View and can be copied to use.
Here, we need to use the Mac "Terminal" program, the terminal seems to be a breakthrough for the boundaries of the tool, only a simple terminal instructions, you can let us in the quick view of the text selected. The following is a detailed procedure:
1. First we open the terminal and enter the following instructions:
Defaults write Com.apple.finder Qlenabletextselection-bool TRUE
2. After clicking Enter:
Killall Finder
3. This command will cause the Finder to reboot, and then it's done. This allows you to select the text when you view it quickly. It's also worth mentioning that when you perform a Force touch on a word (or a 3-point click), you open the dictionary search, and after using the above terminal instructions, you can also select the text in the dictionary.
4. If you want to undo the effect of this instruction, simply replace "TRUE" in the first instruction with "FALSE" when you re performing the above action.
