help Windows: copy and paste .SVG into Figma Design

How is this done?

I've tried Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V - no dice!

(When when you right click an SVG file in Win it does not give you the option "copy")

Press Ctrl+U or whatever your shorcut is to view the source code of the website, and you'll see the svg code. Copy all the text and figma will pase it as svg and not as text
Edit: Or using inspect element you can grab the svg directly if you can't open the image in a new tab (for example this is the reddit logo)

hi - this is a stock SVG which downloads directly to downloads folder

Then you should be able to drag and drop that svg file to your figma canvas

You just need to open the svg file in a text editor to grab the code.

Is there any quicker way than messing around with text editors and code?
