Summary0003271: Copy/paste view directly to clipboard
Description

The current workflow for making figures with Slicer is suboptimal. It takes 2-3 clicks to capture and name a screenshot, and then a number of other steps to save the screenshot - change directories, change name, etc. Then need to wait 5-10s for the scene to save.

A significant improvement would be allowing direct copy/paste from a 2d/3d frame to the system clip board.

A decent and easier-to-implement option would be simply adding a button to the Annotation module to allow copying screenshot items to the clipboard.

Post-4.3 issue.

Here are some shortcuts you can use in the mean time:

def grabToClipboard(widget):
pixmap = qt.QPixmap.grabWidget(widget)
slicer.app.clipboard().setPixmap(pixmap)

def grabMainToClipboard():
grabToClipboard(slicer.util.mainWindow())

These can be associated with hot-keys in your .slicerrc.py
