Data items listed individually on page info tabs can be copied with key shortcut
(ctrl-c) or by right-clicking and picking "copy", as is normal. However, data
listed in scrolling tables can be copied only with ctrl-c. Right-clicking on
them does nothing at all.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on page info/links
2. right-click on any item in page


Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
the standard cut/copy/paste/delete/select all dropdown
The only context menu option that could be realistically implemented in this
case would be "copy" considering that you cannot change the values and that it
automatically selects the data when you click on it.

A right click option would sure be useful, but would just a "copy" button look ok?

I noticed that in the "link" tab it only copys the Address field.  Perhaps, a
context sensitive copy menu could be implemented instead.

Here's one idea.
(----------) represents a horizontal separator
For the links tab:

Copy Name
Copy Address
Copy Type
---------
Copy All (or "Copy Row" or some other name)

Similarly for the "Form" tab, the copy menu could adjust like so:

Copy Name
Copy Method
Copy Form Action
---------
Copy All (or "Copy Row" or some other name)
