Export to Clipboard

[elguapo]

Please add the ability to export to the clipboard with cmd-opt-shift-S shortcut, just like it already exists in the iPad version.

Currently, I have a lot of work where Affinity is a design tool, but the main result is in other application and the pipeline is quite cumbersome. For a simple edit, I have to save the file, open it in Finder, and then transfer it to another program + repeat, repeat, etc.

cmd-opt-shift-S allows to choose all the desirable options for export, but it's too "heavyweight" so to say, you need to save to file. While it can be just pressing shortcut + paste to clipboard.

I am aware about "Copy as SVG", but it still doesn't work, just like in version 1. The only application that will understand such SVG that I know is Figma. Every other app pastes the image instead of vector. So in order for vector svg to work, I need to copy as SVG to Figma and then copy it as SVG from Figma and only then other applications can recognize the format.

Paste Special?
For example Paste Special in ADesigner after copy some vector to Clipboard.

Sorry for my English. not native. I meant when you copy from Affinity (as SVG) and then paste it in another app. E.g. Pitch, Keynote etc.

(Keynote understands by the way, same as Figma). But many other apps have some conflict with the SVG that Affinity provides and place the result as image instead. It has something to do with embedding viewbox.
