Hi,

Please find the attached patch for RM #2781 : New option to set the quotation mark for copying to clipboard.

This patch includes:

- Provide options in preferences to control the CSV output which includes copy to clipboard and download as CSV features in Query Tool
- Modified related jasmine tests
- Modified related feature tests 

Thanks. At first glance, I see a few issues with this patch:

- I can type into the combo boxes in the preferences, but only to search. That means (for example) that the only quote character I can use is ". I can't use anything else as a might want. The same applies to the field separator.

- I can click the x to clear the options in the combo boxes, but then the settings can be accepted and stored. For the separator and quote char, I assume they just become blank, however the quoting method makes no sense to be unspecified.

Will fix above issues.
 
- There don't seem to be any documentation updates.

Will do. 
- The CSV Quoting options appear to apply to copying from the grid, but they should apply to saving results as CSV.
 
All 3 CSV options are applicable for both, copying from grid and download as CSV as I understood this way. 
I had a doubt regarding this and have asked regarding this in the ticket but didn't get reply, so implemented this way. 
Now I understood correctly, so will change accordingly.
 
- The Result Copy quoting options (which should apply to copied data) are missing altogether.

To be clear, there should be 6 new config options, 3 of which apply to data when copied from the grid, and the other 3 which apply when saving data as CSV. Please see the original RM case in which I detailed what the settings should be and what they should do.

Thanks.
