Hi Larry -
The python snippet works like a charm on Windows too. I'll wrap a
minimalistic python plugin around the snippet with a button and a
short-cut. I owe you a large cold beer (actually several :-) . That
snippet saved me from digging into a rather large pile of Qgis/PyQT
documentation. You'll get the beer(s) when we meet at some FOSS4G or
Qgis event..
DelazJ: Yes, I was referring to the "Save as image". I simply couldn't
remember the English translation for the menu item (Working with a
Danish Qgis)
Karl-Magnus: (regarding snipping tool) - That's exactly what my users
presently are doing. But even that is a bit too much work with the mouse
and keyboard :-)
Richard: Actually, there already is a feature request for this function
(http://hub.qgis.org/issues/10319) . I'll update the existing request.
And thank you for the Qgis3 update (You'll get a beer too :-) . If it
becomes necessary, I'll update the plugin to 3.0. But I hope that some
developer with commit rights will have mercy on me and write this
functionality into Qgis 3.0 core.

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.
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:
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
QApplication.clipboard().setImage(QImage(QPixmap.grabWidget(iface.mapCanvas())))
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).

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.
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.

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 ;-)
