Bug Description

Hi,

Until better text selection is implemented, I think it would be a good idea to implement a "copy to clipboard mode" instead of the present single-instance "copy to clipboard", by which I mean the present "copy to clipboard" tool should remain activated until another mode, for example the "hand mode or tool" is selected and activated. This will allow the user to repeatedly select and copy text, and is especially useful when you are using a dictionary, such as goldendict.

This feature is already implemented in Okular, so if you want to compare, you can choose it in the Okular menu Tools >> Selection Tool, which is also activated with Ctrl+3. As you will see, the Selection Tool of Okular will remain active until another tool is selected and activated.

Many thanks for your efforts.
