From Discord:

"it would be cool if the "table" or at least the addons name would be copied into the clipboard if i select a couple of them and hit ctrl+c2

This might help for bug reports or showing other people which addons you use.

Seems reasonable, but a fairly hidden feature 🤔

Is there anything else that Ctrl + C might be more useful for , before we consider taking this hotkey

The only use-case I can currently come up with is if someone is copying out their filter from the filter input field. Other than that, no overlapping issue with hijacking ctrl+C on the main display that I can think of. I tend to shy away from hijacking expected behaviors of OS level shortcuts in general unless it is abundantly clear that would be the user expectation.

An alternative would be to put an "Copy current modlist to clipboard" button in the bottom right hand status bar or something. Give people a button to click and dump it directly into clipboard.
