2020-11-24 12:20
Microsoft Edge is now testing a new feature that lets you copy tabular data and groups of items into the Windows clipboard for easy pasting into other apps.
In the Microsoft Edge Canary builds, you can now enable the Smart Copy feature using the 'CTRL+Shift+X' keyboard combination.
When pasting the data into other applications, such as Notepad, tabular data will retain its columns to make it easier to view the data you copied.
In addition to tabular data, you can also use Smart Copy to easily copy entire paragraphs of text at once, as shown below.
While Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium, unique features like Smart Copy allow it to stand out from the competition.
