Request - always allow users to copy decoded data #8

Sometimes the user may wish to copy the scanned data, instead of opening it with the relevant app.

If the decoded data isn't plain text, Obsqr currently only allows the user to handle it with the relevant app (open a decoded URL, view a geographic location in Maps, connect to a Wi-Fi AP etc.).

Allowing the user to simply copy the data for later use would be pretty nice.

Please add this. I had a lot of trouble finding a privacy-friendly QR scanner so I was so happy to find yours. But on first use I realized that it wouldn't work for my problem-case:

While at work I come across a site I want to save for later browsing at home. How to conveniently save it? I don't log into personal accounts (including emails or cloud accounts) at work. So I've been painstakingly typing the URL into a memo on my phone, or emailing the URL from a throwaway account at guerrillamail.com to my personal account that I would later open at home.

Today I had the bright idea that I could just generate a QR code online, scan it to my phone and save the URL that way. But when I scan with your application, I only have the option to open the page immediately. Please allow me to copy the URL to the clipboard as well.

Thanks for your work.
