Option to hide the separator character in CSV data columns (and header fields)

[LifeTimer]

The CSV functionality of EmEditor is really great!

One thing that often disturbs my work with it though is that even though the data is placed in to columns by the program, the separator character (e.g. comma, semicolor or something custom) is still displayed inside these columns, while it is really just “structural meta data” to separate data columns from each other. This makes it different from e.g. importing the CSV file into Excel, in which case the separator characters are removed from the data (which makes total sense, since the columns themselves already represent the same meta-information).

It would therefore be REALLY great if an option could be added to the CSV customization properties, named for example “Hide separator character”, which would result in the separator character not being displayed in the actual data (or column headers) at all.

Could this possibly be added? Pretty please with sugar on top? :-)

Any consideration at all of this?
