InDesign has the option to set "Copy PDF to Clipboard" on or off in Clipboard Handling preferences.
For copy-pasting in InDesign, I prefer to keep this option turned off, otherwise many artwork easily takes up to 10 seconds or more to render a PDF that I don't need (big / complex artwork can even take a minute, or make InDesign crash).
For pasting in external applications like Illustrator or Photoshop, PDF is required so I temporarily turn it on.
I use both equally and I find myself turning the option on and off multiple times a day.
I'm wondering, should it be possible to assign a keyboard shortcut specifically to copy a PDF to the clipboard, without the need to turn this option on through the preferences panel?
For example:
CMD + C = copy normally
CTRL + CMD + C = copy PDF
I'm not really into scripting, but I can imagine it's "easy" to assign a shortcut to a script that turns on the option, copies the artowrk, and restores the option again.
