Is it generally a good idea not to copy keymap text property?
Yes--very much so. In most cases that leads to very confusing
results.
What's correct to do for yanking a table? Yanking the whole table
ought to preserve its properties so that the table still functions as
one. Yanking a part of the table which can act as a complete table in
itself should also do that. However, yanking some of the text within
the table, which is less than a whole table entry, should forget that
it came from a table and treat it like any ordinary text.
Does that make sense to you? If so, can you look for a design to
achieve those results?
