Well, why go to all this trouble? Why not make a data class that can
feed a nice table instance? You can do all the font and color
customization (I think you can even do image backgrounds, I'm not sure)
with ease. You probably don't want your user just typing into the
textview anyways... so.
As for when to print it out, a little bit of formatted mutable string
fun will easily give you data for saving logs, and dragging operations.
As for copy-paste, that might be trickier. All in all though, I think
that most times I've wanted to get text from IRC windows (via a
copy-paste) operation I've found that the name stuff has always been a
hindrance more than a help.
Good luck!
