Dropper tool for font attributes

[Packetbell-users]

When the dropper tool is used on text, it picks up the
font, size, kerning, color, etc.

Thank you for your input to make Inkscape better, but i can't see a way how to implement this feature. I mark it as invalid. If you think this feature is implementable, don't hesitate to open it again.

vonHalenbach: please give this feature request more consideration. I'll try and better describe its desired operation below.

- When the dropper tool hovers over a text area, a text emblem is added to the cursor,
  and a tooltip appears with the current font attributes (font, size, color, etc.)
- Keyboard modifiers to control which attributes are pick up when clicking (for
  example, a click with no modifiers only picks up color, shift-click picks up all font attributes)

This is really a time saver to quickly apply uniform text attributes.

Okay, thank you for your additional information! I have accepted your wish, so that a developer can pick it up to implement it, but don't expect fast progress on this wish.

Greetings
Stefan
