Description Behdad Esfahbod 2009-04-14 20:14:26 UTC 
My typical usage scenario with devhelp is to type a few words in the search box, use up/down to find the function I want, then have to use the mouse to select the function name in the main pane and copy it.  What I can really use is either or both of:

  - Pressing ctrl+c while selecting a symbol in the left pane will copy its name to clipboard

  - The mere fact of selecting a symbol (up/down/click/...) copy its name to PRIMARY
