Would it be possible to make the text inside the Quicklook window selectable? I often just want to quickly copy something from a file, and Quicklook would be the fastest way to do so.

Yes there is a way. Open up terminal and type this in:

defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection -bool true

Then restart the Finder by typing in this into the Terminal:

killall Finder

Why isn't this the default...? Many thanks :)
defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection -bool TRUE; killall Finder
awesome !
