Is there a way to copy code from the Eclipse IDE without formatting rich text?

Recently, every time I copy a block of code from Eclipse and paste the code into TextEdit or an online forum using code tags, I get rich-text or html formatted code, so I need to copy the text, the editor deletes the copy and paste formatting again. In the past, this was not a problem that I used to copy from eclipse and pasted the code without any formatting at all as plain text, I don’t know if I will include the property or what I did for this, any ideas how to fix it ?

Note: rich formatting from the SWT editor seems to have always been available ( bug 64498 ).

You can use the Edit, Paste and Match Style "in TextEdit.

From the Edit menu, select Paste and Match Style ,
or use a keyboard shortcut Shift Option Command V.

Nested text will display all formatting from the character to the left of the blinking insertion point. This method also works in Mail.

There is an Eclipse error for this, for which you can vote for:
