I meant to talk about this in my post about how I use Google Translate to access information in foreign-language records, but I forgot to actually write about it by the end of the post.
@Savanna you just made my WEEK, and it’s only Sunday 😉
Seriously, this hack is going to save me so much time! Like you, a lot of my research leads to PDFs and other non-copy-able formats, which I end up typing in, errors and all.
Even easier is using Microsoft’s PowerToys Ctrl + shift + T, drag the box around the type area and that’s it - the text is already in your clipboard. Just ctrl V
@Savanna, thank you so much for sharing this! Mind blown, runs off to spend the rest of the day using this for sooooo many citation text-pasteing tasks! You're my favorite genearockstar of the day!

Good info. Thanks. On the Mac it's Command Shift 4
Thank you for this reminder. I just started using the PRTSCRN for work and this is the same idea and I keep forgetting about using it. T

It’s timesavers like these that make a huge difference!
Great tip! Thank you!
Real time saver. I have done this in google keep using the grab image text feature but this seems faster!
That’s what I use too
