Tony – this might just be a variation of what you say below but I find that as long as the layer associated with the attribute from which you want to copy is the active layer, you can cut and paste from that attribute table at will and you do not need to change the focus back to the map canvas.

So the following works: * Highlight some lines in an attribute browser window * Change the focus back to the map canvas * Edit -> Copy (or ctrl C after setting up the shortcut) * Paste into any other app What does not work, but used to: * Highlight rows in an attribute browser window * Ctrl C * Paste So it appears that you have to now change focus back to the map canvas before copying data to the clipboard. That’s OK, and it works, but not really that intuitive and in my opinion, it would be cool to be able to copy directly to the clipboard from the attribute browser window as per previous behaviour without having to change focus first.

I agree that the copy/paste functionality to other software is very convenient. Can you please check in Menu "Settings" --> "Keyboard Shortcuts" --> Sort by Shortcut and see if something else might have captured the "Ctrl-C" Shortcut? Ctrl-C should be assigned to "Copy Features". I checked in my system (QGIS master) and it seems like when using German language, it is properly assigned, but as soon as you switch to English, the Shortcut is gone. But you can easily re-assign the shortcut: Select the Action "Copy Features" --> Click the "Change" button and assign the combination "Ctrl+C". Let us know if this helps. Can you perhaps also open a but report on this so it can be fixed for all users? Thanks, Andreas On 2020-08-26 03:10, Stephane Goldstein wrote: Hi. I also do that very frequently. Ctrl+C does not work for that anymore. Now after selecting your features, you have to go to the Edit menu and click "Copy features".

Handy for a quick excel filter, or pivot table etc. Just to check that I hadn't gone completely mad, I found an old PC with 3.12 installed and yes, that is possible. In 3.14 this isn't possible? I know its easy to export and save as excel, but it just takes a lot longer. Is this by design or have I missed something obvious, and if so can somebody help point me in the right direction. I note from Dr Google that there are issues in 3.14 with copying and pasting map features, is this related?
