@Smalyshev, there are several aspects of copying table data:

  • copy styling: some people like to copy cell styles from a web site to excel. This is not very relevant to WDQS because we don't use styles much, and other than copying the header row in bold, not much use.
  • copy as links: we show wikidata items and images as links, so some people might want to copy that information too. Pasting text with a link into Excel shows it as a link.
  • copy complex values: these include \t and \n symbols that might be lurking within wikidata data values. Perhaps this is not a problem.

The first and most useful feature would be to simply copy raw TSV text into clipboard. Eventually, we might want to look into supporting link copying and possibly others.
