Note that control+c doesn't work if you select the link (or anything) with the mouse - if you've used the mouse to select, then press the applications key to bring up the context menu, and choose "copy". In many cases, if you navigate to a link, you can use the applications key to bring up the context menu and choose "copy link location" or "copy link address". Regards Quentin.

Hi Quentin, Thank you so much for your prompt reply. My keyboard does not have an application key. Sorry for being such a novice, how do you copy with the mouse? Is there an alternative to using the application key? Sometimes I used the shift-f9 which provides a menu that has a copy link command. Unfortunately, for some reason it at times copies the link above the one I am interested in copying. Many thanks for your help. Blessings Pascal

Hi Pascal, SHIFT+F10 is the alternate way of bringing up the context menu to pressing the applications key (or clicking the right mouse button). If it's copying the link above, it might be that you are in between links (at the end of the first link and the start of the second link), in which case, try pressing the right arrow. The only reason I mentioned the mouse in the first place was that I know that is one situation where selecting text and then using control+c doesn't copy, you shouldn't need to use the mouse to copy if you don't otherwise use the mouse.

Try Shift-F10Yep. SHIFT+F10 is the "universal replacement" for an applications/menu key. I use it almost exclusively since I move among machines, some of which don't have the applications/menu key on the keyboard. I've also found at least one occasion when installing Windows 10 that I cannot get a response using the applications/menu key but always can using SHIFT+F10 -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 The color of truth is grey. ~ André Gide

If you don't have an applications key, you can usually press shift+f10 to get the context menu. Control+c is also the shortcut key for copying text, files, or anything else that has been selected in Windows. I'd recommend looking through the Windows help for a keyboard shortcut guide. The current version of that according to Windows 10 is here:

No. What kind of link? A written out
link such as
http://www.microsoft.com or links as words
such as click here to watch the report.
NVdA can copy text such as in a dialog or anyplace there
is no program cursor but that isn't a copy link command. You can use it to
copy a link or any other text where there is no application cursor. The
link must be a written out link such as the Microsoft link I used as an
example.

You don't have to use the mouse if you are in
browse mode or in a list view in a program that supports this kind of
thing. and you only use the context menu if you are copying a link address
where the link is words such as click here to see the article. If the link
is written out,
you copy it to the clipboard and paste it wherever
you want.
If the link is words, Be on the link. Open
the application menu either with the application key or shift f10. Look at
the items in the menu. Is there something like copy link location or copy
link? Please give a concrete example including telling us if you want to
copy a written out link or a link as words, such as click here to see the
article. Also, tell us what program you are using.

Hi Just for the sake of clarity, I would like to point out that there is no NVDA command to perform this task, all the solutions proposed are Windows commands.
Cheers Chris

There are different ways of doing that. Here
is one:
Follow the link so you are on the actual page of
the article. Then press f6 to move to the address bar. The address
is already selected. Use Control c to copy it to the clipboard. If
you want to return to the actual page, press f6 until you are there. You
can close the browser after you copy the link or do anything you
want.
Once you copy the link to the clipboard, return to
the e-mail message or start one, and paste the link with control v where you
want it.
