Simply select the features on the map and use copy-paste (Ctrl + C , Ctrl + V) to copy the data into a text editor or Excel.

Or: After you highlighted them->right click on the Layer->Save Selction as->In the Drop-down menu you can choose csv(comma seperated value/ excel) format there. Done

I see...I m afraid I have no answer for that. The methods above are pretty fast and require only some seconds.So I m wondering myself, how it may work faster. Let me know,if you find out somehow... Commented Jun 27, 2012 at 10:18

I m not familiar with python yet, but maybe you ll find smth here? gis.stackexchange.com/questions/23226/… Commented Jun 28, 2012 at 9:38
Another easy solution might be the use of the "mmqgis" plugin. You can find it directly via the plugin downloader.
After loading you will find in the menu Plugins->mmqgis->Transfer a clickable dialog to export shape attribute tables to csv data. You can even export whole geometries.
You can select the features, go to the attribute table then highlight the selected features that you want from that selection and then right click in the attribute table and hit "re-select highlighted" giving you your new selection which you can now export and save.
Hope that is clear/helps

1Welcome to GIS SE! I hope you will be OK about us pointing out that this appears to be an ArcGIS for Desktop answer to a QGIS question which is something you may see voted down. I am hoping that no one will downvote in this instance but to avoid any chance of that you should be able to just delete your answer.– PolyGeo ♦Commented Aug 2, 2013 at 5:23
