can't copy+paste from interpreter

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. type something in the interpreter
2. highlight it
3. right click or hit ^C to copy

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the highlighted stuff to go to the clipboard.  Instead, right clicking 
or hitting ^ makes the highlighted area disappear, and does not copy the 
content.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8, Ubuntu 9.10

Please provide any additional information below.

Hmm. Well, ctrl-c is definitely never going to work, though I guess we could 
introduce a different key-combo for copying (ctrl-shift-c is the default in 
konsole).

However, for me right clicking brings up a context menu and I am able to choose 
copy.

I do notice that if I right click on the prompt area (over the >>>) then the 
selection disappears and there is no "copy" option in the context menu. But if 
I right click over the code text or anywhere but over the >>> then the context 
menu works normally.

I'll see if I can fix that....

This is fixed now.

ctrl-shift-c is the shortcut for copy in the console.

right-click -> copy now works over the prompt area in the console.

While I was in there, I also fixed a problem with tab / backtab in the console, 
and made it so that pasting in to the code area automatically strips out the 
prompt region.

Give it all a try and let me know if there are any problems.
