Keytables, copy cell value is not working in IE11

Hi,

Keytables, copy cell value is not working in IE11. Everything else seems to work.
When I try with Chrome, Edge and Firefox everything works as it should.

Hi @tallmyr ,

Yep, I'm seeing that too on this page. Thanks for reporting it, I'll get it logged and looking into. I'll report back here with updates.

Cheers,

I've just been looking into this and the issue is that IE does not trigger a copy event when there is no text selected. When there is we can listen for that event and modify it as needed (which works in other browsers, including Edge), but with no event its just not possible to have this ability in IE.

The best we could really do is listen for ctrl+c or add a button, but these would be IE specific workarounds only and given that Microsoft no longer support IE themselves, I think we'll not spend development time on it at this time. Its a graceful feature degradation - it doesn't effect other features and throws no errors. It just doesn't exist in IE since the browser doesn't have the APIs we need.
