HelpfilesBrowser: enable ctxtmenu,^C,^INS; now only unix c&p

Summary:

The help files browser does not support CTRL+C, CTRL+INS, or a context menu to copy selection. Only unix style copy&paste is supported.

This issue is about adding these lacking features. Many help files contain examples which the programmer may want to copy and paste into his project file as a code, or a part of manpage as a comment.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Settings -> Environment -> Help files. Add an entry if you don't have one already.

Example:

name: manpages

path: man:/usr/share/man

default help file: yes

fill command: no

embedded help viewer: yes

preserve keyword case: yes

2) Start a new (for example C) project.

3) Type "printf()" as first line.

4) Click the function name.

5) Press F1.

6) Select a part of the man page.

Expected:

A right-click gives a context menu with 'copy' menuitem.

AND

CTRL + C works (as it does at the rest of the system).

AND

CTRL + INS works (as it does at the rest of the system).

AND

UNIX-style copy/paste via middle click works (as it does at the rest of the system).

Actual result:

Only UNIX-style copy/paste via middle click works.

There is no context menu.
