Add 'copy coordinate' button to copy placemark coordinates to clipboard #378

What should this feature enhancement do?

Add option to Edit Placemark dialog (and/or right-mouse Placemark pop-up) to 
copy coordinate into clipboard with a text string of "lon,lat,alt" in that 
order and be comma delimited.  That way users could avoid all the meticulous 
mouse selecting between individual characters and in one fell swoop paste it 
into KML code without needing to rearrange values.

Are there any currently known workarounds that produce the same, or
similar, result?

Manually copy the latitude and longitude values from the text fields then 
append them in the right order.
