I don't like submenu like this. As Stanciu stated, user typically changes
coordinates format rarely. It is more like setting it once and never change it
again. It is annoying to target the one correct format in the menu again and
again.

I see three things to copy from Marble: Map (picture), textual coordinates and
geo: URI. So there should be three items in menu.

Format of the textual coordinates should be configurable, as it is now, but
having few more formats is important for cooperation with other tools, as
Dennis stated.

The menu with many formats is useful only if Marble and all other tools used by
user cannot be configured to use the same format.

If we want to address all use-cases without making it hard to use, we need
both. What about menu like this:

  - Copy map
  - Copy coordinates
  - Copy geo: URI
  - Copy in other format
      - ... submenu with all available formats.

The "Copy coordinates" would respect user's preferences and use the same format
as the rest of the application. "Copy in other format" would offer all formats
that are available in preferences. I don't consider geo: URI as one of possible
formats since it is not designated for being read by users.

Downside of this approach is that it requires four items in "Edit" menu. So far
there are only three other menu items, so it is not a problem, but I can't
recommend to use this approach too often -- too many menu items make it hard to
find the right one.
