[Qgis-user] Tool to copy the content of the map canvas to the clipboard

[Bo Victor Thomsen]

Hi List-members -

Is there in Qgis a function / button / menu-item / short-cut / plugin to 
make a simple bitmap copy of the current content of the map-canvas and 
save it to the clipboard ? My users need this to make a copy of the map 
and paste into MS-Word or other software.

I really need the functionality for my users and I can't seem to find 
it. The closest I've come is the "save as png" menu-item in the project 
menu. But it's to cumbersome to use in this case.

I'm familiar with the composer function. My users can't use this neither 
because it takes to long to activate (to many choices and to many 
buttons to click)

So I've decided to make a simple plugin to cover this functionality. But 
first I want to be very sure the function actually is missing ;-)
