Make argument text selectable and copyable #49

Closed ar-jan closed 1 year ago

ar-jan commented 1 year ago

It should be possible to select and copy (part of) the argument text (i.e. the annotation's selected text), either in the annotations sidebar or the annotation form on the right.

Maybe not worth it (#51):

User text selection does not affect what is copied. By default it seems to copy the entire annotation (selected text, annotation metadata, and annotation comment text). For example:

“The selected text” ([Corver et al., 2015, p. 57](zotero://select/library/items/GVSG8HQ5)) ([pdf](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/T8AWTHP8?page=57&annotation=XJA6NMXW)) \~~~~LIDIA~~~~

We would probably have to override the Ctrl+C behavior?

A workaround seems like it may be sufficient: double click the selected text in Zotero's left sidebar for editing, then select and copy from that.
