If Qooxdoo blocks direct access to copy/paste functionality for this type of table structure, it would be really great if it could implement an interface to the clipboard functionality in the OS. It would allow you to add a "Copy" button that could write some value to the clipboard for pasting outside of the app without the need to create a textfield that would then need to be copied again by the end user. I know that there are probably security restrictions on this type of functionality from Javascript, but wondered if it had been considered.

Is this on the radar screen for Qooxdoo at all? It sounds like it would really help Alexander and probably others as well.

Thanks! But this feature not in my high priority currently :)
I just checked, maybe it's somehow can be easily "enabled".
If I'll get in need of such feature, and it wouldn't be implemented, I'll make it and send code here.
But anyway I think it would be great feature :)

Thanks,

   Gene

Out-of-the-box and cross-browser, you can only work on the cell level:
If a cell is editable, you can double-click it, select the content and
copy it to the clip board.

Since table rows are selectable (see the demo at
http://demo.qooxdoo.org/current/demobrowser/index.html#table~Table_Selection.html  
<http://demo.qooxdoo.org/current/demobrowser/index.html#table%7ETable_Selection.html>),
you could write your own functionality for copying: Let the user select
some rows, than hit a "Copy Selected" button. On hitting that button,
your application would need to get the selection from the table, go
through the corresponding data, serialize it into e.g. a list of strings
(e.g. in csv format), and provide the serialization in a text field to
the user. This text field can the user then select and copy.

HTH,
T.
