Smart Copy is Available in Edge Now!
Microsoft Edge Version 88.0.705.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
Keyboard shortcut for it: CTRL + Shift + X
at the moment, Smart Copy doesn't work in PWAs.
Here is the demo video:

Any idea when this would make it to the production version? I noticed it's been in Canary since v88, but v92 (Beta channel) doesn't have it yet.

HotCakeX The smart copy is not working on my Ubuntu budgie computer.
I can press ctr?shift+X and take the screen shot. It seems to save to clipboard, but paste is not possible to any document or outlook online.
Seems like the clip is saved another place than at the clipboard.
Would love to use this tool, so are grateful for a solution.
- Please use the feedback button on Edge to report it 🙂
press Edge's (...) menu button =>Help and feedback => Send feedback
ideally all of Edge features should work eventually on all supported platforms

I am using Version 89.0.731.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit), that download to-day, I cannot see the in the context menu and nothing happens when I press Ctrl+Shift+x keys.
Please advise.

Hi,
Smart copy isn't in Dev yet, only in Canary,
in the change log there is no mention of it either. I'm assuming it will come with the next major update of Dev channel which will be early next year.

I can't see Smart Copy in either Dev 89.0.731.0 or Canary 89.0.736.0. Ctrl-Shift-X does nothing and there's no flag to enable it.

weird... for me this option doesn't appear in the menu, nor in edge://flags/, but it works if I use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+X
I liked the feature anyway
- Rohit YadavBronze Contributor
Yay, just tested it now on several websites. It works so good, can't wait to use it in my workflow!
- Is the button gray for you too?
- Rohit YadavBronze Contributor
Yes, it is gray for me too, though using the Keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+X) I can access it.
