Copying the contents of the popups.

[pedrofurla]

It would be nice to be able to copy the contents of the popups.

I see two solutions to this:

• Wait sometime before hiding the popup. If the mouse is over the popup it wouldn't be hidden.
• A invisible div between the hovered element and the popup. The mouse over the element, the said div or the popup wouldn't let the popup be hidden.

I made the Scaladoc's popups and I would be able to help with JS issues. Don't hesitate contacting me.

Just fyi, I put very little time into sxr and when I do, it goes into the backend. I'm personally concerned with the correctness of the output (and there is a lot that is not correct) and not so much the appearance. Improvements to the user interface have been contributed almost entirely by others. So, please hack away!

@harrah It would be possible (and possibly quite nice to get this working) - I think with qtip2 and zeroclipboard it is possible to make this function (and updating qtip2 fixed the 2 earlier open issues). Would you be happy to use something like this? (it uses a flash trick to make copy work - this is how github do it as well).

[harrah]

If it is strictly an improvement, sure! If there are tradeoffs (such as decreased usability for people with flash disabled or something), maybe describe them first.

I will need to do some experimenting/testing - I'm far from an expert of the front end stuff. Upgrading to jquery/qtip2 would be a prerequisite anyway so I will get that working and generate a PR for that on its own then experiment with this.
