           Summary: text mode switch: make widget's labels copyable
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs kde org

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

This issue is bothering me for a long time :-)

The problems:
a) you want to copy some number from the table, but the table is static and the only way is to make a screenshot (image) or retype those manually
b) you are explaining how to use program, but you cannot copy labels from buttons, so you have to retype all labels manually
c) you want to send reference to some page, program, whatever, but you cannot copy the title, because they are static

So the main aim is -- every text which is visible on the screen should be copyable.

Wish: please provide some kind of text mode switch, in this mode after clicking on the widget you will get the text in the clipboard of the clicked widget (minimal version). Of course if it would be technically possible it would be great to actually mark using mouse required portion of the text, and then explicitly press ctrl+c to copy the text.

But even the first version would be a great help.
