Enable select text in Quick Look Mac OS X

Quick Look in Mac OS X is very useful if you just want to have a glance at certain file without launching the needed application. You can do so by just hit the space bar. Quick look can be even better if we can select the text without launching its application. It can be done and reversible as follow:


1. Launch Terminal
2. Type the following command
defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection -boolean YES;
killall Finder


3. Want to put it back the way it was?
defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection -boolean NO;
killall Finder
