Copy rendering to clipboard?

Is there any way to copy the contents of the preview window directly to the
Windows clipboard?  That would make it easy to insert the image in an email
for instance.  If not, a "copy to clipboard" button would be nice.  Right
now I'm using a roundabout method of doing a Windows-S, sweeping out the
desired area which copies it to a OneNote window and then copying the
contents of that to the Clipboard.

Sounds useful :-). I don't think that's currently possible.

But https://github.com/openscad/openscad/pull/1339 should do it.
(Menu: "Export->Export to Clipboard" / only tested on Linux so far)

ciao,
