No, you could copy and paste it, and then add highlighting after it&#x27;s pasted.<p>I guess one advantage of using a single command is that you can select, right-click the selection and run the service, and then paste. OTOH, I would probably end up doing a normal copy with command-C, pasting with command-V, and then having to do it again because I forgot to do the special copy.<p>OTOH, if you&#x27;re going to have a combination command, it seems that it&#x27;s more common to have special behavior in the paste operation rather than in the copy one. See &quot;Paste and Match Styles&quot;, &quot;Paste Special&quot; etc.<p>No big deal in any case, I was just wondering what the rationale was behind the UI choice.
