The paste function seems to work from Windows to QB, through the window toolbar. I never managed to export text from QB to Windows, though. I use Notepad with text format BAS files to do this.
Are there any keyboard shortcuts that can help ?

No.
The paste works, its just tab indents dont work properly.
However you can alwats just paste it into notepad, save it. load it into basic and copy+paste from there.
[edit]
Ah sorry misread your question, but its still no. Qbasis was made before windows. The qbasic paste box has nothing to do with qbasic's
CosmoX however can access the clipboard.(but it probably wont help)

... your code, no there's no way you can copy from QB to Windows,
Windows to QB pasting works because Windows simulates you
are typing to the QB DOS window, QB copy/paste works with its
own internal buffers, no connection with Windows clipboard, so
its near impossible.

if you pres alt+enter in a textmode dos box you can highlight
text in it if you press the button with a dashed square and drag
the cursor on the window and then use the copy to clipboard button...

I thought that what he meant was copy/paste from within QB to Windows
