Support for text selection and copy

Asked by Kurt Smolderen

I do believe Gloobus preview is a nice add-on for the Gnome desktop, but for now it remains largely inspired by Apple's Quick View. However, I do believe it can easily add some usability over Apple's preview by adding support for (text) selection and copy. Right now if you have previewed a document, you still have to open another application in order to copy a few words or lines of text. Being able to do this right from Gloobus Preview would be really nice!

In fact, you can copy text by selecting it and then pressing the middle mouse button

Linux has this two clipboards, the ctrl+c one (Same as edit->copy) and selection, so you can use the selection one

;)

Can you help with this problem?
