I know that we can now click on the menu of a visual and choose to export data. But what about exporting a screenshot of the visual to clipboard?
I suggest adding the option "copy visual to clipboard" right next to the option to export data from the visual. Here is a screenshot of what I mean: http://postimg.org/image/b2vkq15q9/
Also, perhaps allow users to copy the visual to clipboard by hitting CTRL-C?
My users are in dire need of this functionality because they often copy and paste charts into Word documents and PowerPoint presentations, and not all of them are savvy enough with MS Paint and screenshot capture tools (e.g. Snagit, snip tool, etc).

This was shipped in April - you can now copy a visual as an image in the Service: Announcing: Copy a Visual as an Image | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI

RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
This is such a simple little thing that would make a significant difference. I use the snipping tool, but that's much more tedious way to do handle it than simply clicking a button in the menu bar.
RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
This would be helpful. The workaround of using the Snipping tool is fine, but tedious
RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
You can always use screenshot, but the image is almost always blurry.
Copying to clipboard would probably resolve this.
RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
Yes, it would be a really helpful feature to allow the users to export specific visuals (either from a report or from a dashboard) as Pictures as simple as select a "Copy to clipboard as picture" from a ... menu.
This will provide flexibility and would not limit the users to exporting the whole report.
Thank you

RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
This is important and is just about the first thing every user I show Power BI to asks me if it can do or how can they do it.
RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
It's a pain to not be able to copy a graph and paste it into an email.
RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
This would be very helpful!
RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
Also the ability to export visuals as JPEG, PNG and EMF would be great:
