In some files I turn off clang-format for the entire file using // clang-format off comments. In these cases, I may still want to format a selection of the file, which is tricky, because clang format selection has no effect due to // clang-format off. So I need to copy the selection, paste it in a different file, clang-format it there, and paste the result back in the original. file.
It would be nice if that could be automated with a new option: "Force clang-format selection"
