QGIS actions: copy to clipboard some attributes

Question

When I click on "execute action entity"
=>Copy to clipboard a preconfigured set of attributes of my layer.

Here's what I've done so far:

• Open the Layer Properties dialog and head over to the Actions tab

• Set up a new action using the following properties for the action

  Type: Windows
  Name: Copy Attribute
  Action : "copy to clipboard [%name%] - [%value1%] - [%value2%]"

but I'm not familiar with actions script semantic.

what would be the correct redaction of the action code above?

Answer 1

You could choose action-type Python and do something like this:

from PyQt4.Qt import QApplication
clipboard = QApplication.clipboard()
clipboard.setText("[% "name"%]"+","+str([% "myintegerfield"%]))
