Copy-Paste: Global "Copy selection" option?

Add in the Data menu, a new option "Copy selection" (with Ctrl+C shortcut) which copies your selected data (in any view) to the clipboard, just as if you had copied it from a Table view?

Probably using all fields, or fields currently configured to show in the details popup.

Including field names please

Ah yes, field names are not currently included in the Table view copy & paste. But they are included in the Pivot view.

This is because when editing in the Table view, you need to be able to copy and paste individual cells or cell ranges without column headers being pasted.

We should be able to update this so copying and pasting outside of Omniscope includes field names, but when pasting in the Omniscope Table view it should only paste the cell/row data.

Copying only the field the view shows rather than all fields would be nice in my opinion.

Would also be good if copy selection copies aggregated data if the view is showing aggregated data.

Welcome!
