Selecting a piece of text and hovering over it, should pop-up palette for copying

[HoboPrimate]

Copying a piece of text either happens through the toolbar or trough the key combination Ctrl+C/V . A more direct way should exist. At first I thought, why not by right-clicking on a piece of selected text would pop-up a palette with copy option, but following sugar conventions of hover palettes, the way would be:
select piece of text,
hover it
palette appears with copy option.

Oh, but the right-click way should work as well, since everywhere else in the UI, right-clicking works as a way to skip the hovering time it takes to show a palette.

Thanks for the idea, we can work on it for 0.88

FWIW, you can also drag and drop text selections into the frame.

This could be useful beyond just the Browse activity... but getting it working here first would be a good next step. Moving to 0.90

Moving to 0.92

Now, we are working on the migration to GTK3 and webkit. In fact, WebKit provides the right-click-button on selected text showing its own dialogue. I think that we should show our palette instead of the webkit's one.

Not a regression in the sense that we did not show any option before, now we show a 'copy' option which even works. As we are late in the cycle moving that one out.

Closing. Take a look at #3455. This is one of the cases handled on that patch.
