That's one of the reasons I abandoned Google Docs for keeping notes on administering my home computer lab. I use Linux so much of what I did involved typing commands in a terminal window. I would copy the text into document and later copy back to a terminal. It often didn't work due to the way Google transmogrified the text in ways not obvious to the eye.

I now use Markdown (and store notes on a private server) so commands can readily be replayed.

I’m sad and annoyed that Google Docs somehow manages to disable the Mac text substitutions feature (which has custom entries I want to use for frequent, difficult to type things at work) when you’re typing into a document.
