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. 
 
Provided provision to add user defined field separator and quote character. 

- 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.

Fixed. User can not clear the combo-boxes. 

- There don't seem to be any documentation updates.
The documents of SQL Editor and Preferences are updated. 

- The CSV Quoting options appear to apply to copying from the grid, but they should apply to saving results as CSV.
 
- 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.
 
Provided 2 set of options (one set consists of 3 options);  one for CSV output and another for Results grid.

 
Thanks.
