Copy an answer's code snippets into the system clipboard #17

Sometimes when browsing answers, I must resort to 'tmux' terminal text selection and copy functions for pasting their code into my editor. It would be nice of 'so' would somehow let you pick a code snippet by number and have it copied into your system clipboard.

As of v0.4.7 you can press y and it will copy either the question or the answer, whichever side is currently focused. This is admittedly not as sophisticated as individual text snippets, but hopefully it gets you half way there?

Depending on your linux distro be sure to set your copy_cmd in your configuration.
