Feature request: copy text from image

[newsjunkie247]

It would be great if you could add the option/ability to copy text from saved pages when possible. This is great already but then it would be perfect.

If we put the text in an alt attribute on the image, and you select the image and copy then paste into a text field, you'll get the alt text. I thought we did have an alt attribute, but we don't, so I propose we put that back.

I put in the alt attribute in d017043 – with this if you select the image itself (which requires dragging across the image) then paste into a text field you'll get the text.

It's not a great solution though. It's not that easy to just select the image. If you right click and do "Copy Image" then you don't get the alt text.

I'm going to try to add a contextmenu to add a right-click option to the clip image to copy the text.

In 40a6657 I added a context menu, "Copy Image Text" which works better. (The alt attribute still makes sense, but doesn't really address the use case itself.)
