Hi Dash Community!

I've noticed when using DataTables online, it is now possible to copy information from multiple selected cells to the clipboard; however, it requires users select all cells and then click once more on the initial "active cell" before the information is copied. Is this an easy issue to resolve?

                              Hi Dash Community!
                              I've noticed when using DataTables online, it is now possible to copy information from multiple selected cells to the clipboard; however, it requires users select all cells and then click once more on the initial "active cell" before the information is copied. Is this an easy issue to resolve?
