Description

There is already a Download plot as a png button.

It would be nice, if the image could be copied optionally into the clipboard. (Then it can be just pasted with Ctrl+V elsewhere.)
Currently, I have to use the "take screenshot" function of firefox, which is more convenient than download.

Thanks.

Research direction

The issue concerns the existing “Download plot as a png” button and asks for an optional clipboard-copy action. Start by tracing that button and the browser-facing plot controls; the change is done when the displayed image can be copied and pasted with Ctrl+V as an alternative to downloading it.
