Bug Description
Feature Request.
In the "XML Editor", right-click [the mouse] on a node in the left pane, choose "copy XML to Clipboard".
For example, if our document looks like:
<1>
<11>
<111>
hello
</111>
</11>
<22>
</22>
</1>
Selecting "11" will copy "<11><111>
Use case: I often write programs that generate SVG. I like to use Inkscape to "rough out" drawings and then use the generated SVG as templates in my program code. Currently I "save" the drawing and then copy the XML from the generated SVG file. Being able to right-click on a node in the "XML Editor" would be easier.

Just ran into this use case. I would love to see this feature implemented as well.
I would also add that having a button in the XML toolbar as a "hint" that this feature exists would be great as well. Ie, a "copy this set of nodes to clipboard" button, next to the "Duplicate node" button for example.
