Hello, I just got my first Mac few days ago and I was playing with Safari for the first time. I noticed that it's Copy & Paste behaves unlike any other browser I used before. It actually copies text with full formating, links and even pictures. Even simple things, like selecting user name on this forum gives only the "Copy Link" option, while every other browser will simply copy the selected text. This was bothering me to a point that I switched to Firefox. Unfortunately the two-finger scrolling is not as smooth as in Safari and gestures don't work at all.

Is there a way to copy as plain text in Safari? Maybe version 4 has this option already?
