Use case or problem
Bases offer a nice table view, and I would like to select part of the table, copy it using the existing “copy” option in the contextual menu, and paste it either in Excel, Word, or even as a markdown table in a random document.
At the moment, although the option to copy appears in the menu, it either does nothing, or exports an image of the selection to the clipboard, so pasting it yields very random results, none of which being actually pasting the data.
Proposed solution
Copying using the context menu of the selection should export several flavours of data to the system clipboard, ascii/markdown for plain text, and trying to preserve a tabular format for exporting to Word/Excel. If it cannot paste anything it should not show the “copy” option. It should not put an image in the clipboard as this is never the expected behaviour of copying a selection of cells.
Current workaround (optional)
Didn’t find any, I manually copy cell per cell
