Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

I feel there should be a right-click menu for copying links and highlighted text to the clipboard. It's not a show-stopper by any means, but not everyone (especially novice users) are aware of the CTRL+C/V shortcuts. A context menu would be appropriate here.

I agree: from Web browsers it's now normal to expect to be able to right-click on a link and get a context menu with a "Copy link location" entry... useful particularly if you want to open a Gwibber link in a non-default Web browser, or paste somewhere else.

Not sure, if this is possible in pywebkit, yet, user may copy by selecting and paste using middle click, which is a default behavior for any X Server application

I agree.

Now, in Gwibber 3.1.4, context menu is well available for links, but it is impossible to select other text from tweet !

It would be great to have ability to select some text, and have in right click context menu options "Copy", "Search in Google / Bing"
