procedure TCustomSynEdit.DoCopyToClipboard(SText: string; FoldInfo: 
String = '');

SynEdit has TSynClipboardStream which accepts various parts of 
information (e.g the selection mode; and the fold state)
It then generates text content, and a custom clipboard format version 
with the extra info

This class could be extended in TSynSourceEditor (which is a subclass of 
TSynEdit, but in hte IDE). So odetools would not have to bother to much 
how to store stuff in the clibpoard or read it. It could use the 
existing code...
Of course SynSourceEditor would have to expose some methods that can be 
used, As codetools would decide what text, and what format info need to 
be copied....

You could also just take a copy of this class and use it directly in 
codetools.

That's the idea.
