List-members -<br>
<br>
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.<br>

<div>While not part of the QGIS app, one could use this
PyQGIS snippet to do so (tested quickly on macOS 10.11.6
under QGIS 2.14) from the PyQGIS console:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>from PyQt4.QtGui import *<br>
</div>
<div>QApplication.clipboard().<wbr>setImage(QImage(QPixmap.<wbr>grabWidget(iface.mapCanvas()))<wbr>)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This avoids having to re-render the QGraphicsView
(QgsMapCanvas) to a paint device, like an image. Code can
be wrapped in a plugin, then have some key bindings
applied (would need some more PyQt).</div>

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.<br>

<div>Afaics, there's no "save as png" option but
"save as image" in Project menu, option from which
you can choose the image file format (bmp,
jpg...). It's not on the clipboard but easier and
more accessible than print composer.<br>

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)<br>
<br>
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 ;-)<br>
