Description
Sometimes I want to share a portion of a view with someone via email to get their feedback, because sending them the entire view would be a distraction.
It would be great if you could copy/paste directly from Archi into Word or Outlook as an image.
I know you can Ctrl/Shift-C to copy the entire view to the clipboard as an image and then paste it. Perhaps this function could be modified so that if any elements are selected then only those selected elements are copied to the clipboard as an image?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the existing Ctrl/Shift-C action that copies the entire view to the clipboard as an image. Check how selected elements are represented and how the current image is generated; done means copying selected elements alone when a selection exists while preserving whole-view copying otherwise.
