A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Many times the tooltips display useful information that can actually be copied and pasted elsewhere. Currently there is no way to select the text in the tooltip. Support a mode for tooltip in which the text can be selected as if in a text area. The tooltip may enter this mode using a keyboard showrtcut or a click on "pin" tooltip button.

JUSTIFICATION :
Many times the tooltips display useful information that can actually be copied and pasted elsewhere. For example fully qualified class name in a Java IDE can be copied and pasted into an import statement. The absolute of a file in the Java file editor tab's tooltip can be copied and pasted in a desktop shell window.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -

ACTUAL -
No way to copy the tooltip text.
